    In the current context of climate change, focusing on gender equality in the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) can drive improvements in resilience, food security and nutrition. This document seeks to enrich the knowledge and evidence base on gender, food systems and resilience in the SIDS of the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and South China Sea (AIS) region, providing evidence from Barbados, Cabo Verde, Comoros (the), Palau, Saint Lucia, Samoa and Sao Tome and Principe. It focuses specifically on gender-related roles, gender gaps and traditional knowledge in agriculture and natural resource management to better support women’s participation in value chains and the benefits they receive from value chain development. It calls for radical transformations to build resilient livelihoods, overcome gender inequalities and help rural women and men reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters. Furthermore, the transformations called for, which focus on gender equity, will increase the resilience of rural livelihoods to unforeseen events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in view of the critical role women play in ensuring food security and nutrition.

    Namibia’s Fifth National Development Plan (NDP 5 cites agriculture and food security as key to enhancing economic progress in the country Under the umbrella of agriculture is the livestock sector, which is of crucial economic importance, as it contributes roughly 3 8 percent to the national GDP The growth and sustainability of this sector are hindered by climate change It has brought about a decline in rainfall, a rise in temperatures, periods of drought and the degradation of rangelands, all of which increase livestock mortality and therefore negatively affect the livelihoods of smallholder farmers who lack the knowledge, capacity and resources to mitigate these threats and manage related crises This Technical Cooperation Programme ( project was designed to support the development of a proposal for another, larger project on building the resilience of communal livestock farmers to climate change, which was to be submitted to the Green Climate Fund ( for consideration.
