ProjectPromoting Gender-Sensitive Agrifood Value Chains in Jalisco State - GCP/MEX/311/IRE 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Mexico has made significant progress in recent years in achieving women's rights and gender equality, particularly in key areas at the federal level. Despite these achievements, women's participation in the workplace remains low or concentrated in less productive sectors. Rural women, in particular, face greater inequalities than men. Although the state of Jalisco is the most agriculturally productive in Mexico, female entrepreneurs working in the agrifood sector face multiple challenges, including poor access to technical assistance, land tenure and credit, in addition to limited participation in value chains. In this context, the present project, funded by the Government of Ireland, aimed to empower rural women by addressing these challenges. Implemented over one year, the project focused on four key components: training on gender-sensitive value chains, the creation of mentorship and entrepreneurship networks, the promotion of an enabling environment for gender equality and training for public officials overseeing female-centric programmes. Through collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) and the Ministry of Substantive Equality between Women and Men (SISEMH) in the State of Jalisco, FAO assisted female entrepreneurs in adopting effective practices that better integrated them in the selected value chains and strengthened their networks for sustainable rural entrepreneurship. -
Book (stand-alone)Analysing the agrifood sector in Lebanon through the perspective of gender-sensitive value chains
Concise study
2023Also available in:
No results found.This study identifies value chain (VC) opportunities for women cooperatives, associations and individuals by adopting the FAO Gender-Sensitive Value Chain (GSVC) framework of analysis. In addition to the core and extended VC levels, as well as the national and global enabling environment. This framework adds two dimensions to be analyzed which are the individual and household levels, the areas in which gender inequalities frequently start from. Therefore, adding these two levels of analysis facilitates the systematic integration of gender equality into VC development programmes and projects. In addition to experts for each sub-sector, namely plant production, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture, animal production and agro-processing, this study included a gender consultant who played a major role in the different phases of the study. These included preparing and giving workshops to the sub-sector experts prior to the literature review and analysis, aligning their work within a gender framework, in addition to participating in the data collection phase, where the consultant revised the data collection tools prepared by the sub-sector experts for the Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), Survey and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and attended the majority of the KIIs. The consultant additionally revised the analysis of each sub-sector, included a gender assessment and assisted in the study’s reporting. -
