Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePromoting the dissemination and uptake of the Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in the Context of Food Security and Nutrition 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in the Context of Food Security and Nutrition (VG-GEWGE) are a unique opportunity to be seized. The guidelines are the first inter-governmental and multistakeholder negotiated policy instrument aligning the objectives and agendas of food security and nutrition with gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment. Negotiated by 130+ countries, the VG-GEWGE represent a landmark achievement in which Committee on World Food Security (CFS) Members commit to tackle gender inequalities for enhanced food security and nutrition. They provide an important normative umbrella and entry point for the development of policies and programmes at country level addressing the root causes of gender-based discrimination, including rigid social norms. FAO actively participated in the development, consultation and negotiation process of the VG-GEWGE. The implementation of the guidelines is voluntary by definition and depends on political will and targeted investment of time and human resources. Through the Commit to Grow Equality initiative, FAO has stated its support to the uptake and dissemination of the VG-GEWGE. A testament to its engagement, in January 2025, FAO launched a multi-year programme to promote the uptake of the VG-GEWGE with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Additional programme activities are funded by Global Affairs Canada, the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, and the Government of France.

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -

In the SEMED region, FAO and EBRD have been supporting enhanced quality and efficiency standards in Morocco and Tunisia’s olive oil sector for the past 7 years. The ongoing project, Tunisia: Unlocking the potential of the olive oil sector, is promoting industry best practices on ensuring quality through a capacity development and raising awareness component. Capacity development material including posters highlighting best practices for olive oil have been developed and distributed. Since January 2020, an outbreak of Corona virus has spread from China to countries around the world, including Tunisia. The COVID-19 crisis is expected to impact the olive oil value chain and the economy that depends on it, especially in Tunisia. While efforts to modernise operations have improved value addition in Tunisia, the COVID-19 crisis has already revealed underlying weaknesses of the sector. The FAO-EBRD team are developing bio-safety protocols that will enable in the short term, producers and millers to adapt to the COVID-19 reality by introducing measures for the safety of both their products and staff. This document covers specific measures for each type of the value chain segment (production, processing, packaging unit and distribution). This is a concise, pragmatic, and ready to use document for any sector operator regardless of size and type of activity. This is a poster part of the document and series.
