Synopsis (short abstract) In today’s interconnected world, with globalized food trade and resource flows across different regions, a ‘systems thinking’ for sustainable consumption and production patterns is needed. FAO’s SO4 programme is about broadening perspectives - from a focus on production to a holistic agricultural and food system approach. It seeks to optimize resource efficiencies in the production and delivery of cost-effective, healthy and safe products for all, while ensuring the inclusion and integration of smallholder producers, vulnerable consumer groups and economically weaker countries. The evaluation found the programme highly relevant, yet its food systems approach not well understood. FAO is well-positioned to support countries in developing sustainable food systems; however, it needs to better communicate its value offering and ensure that the skill sets are in place to collaborate with a wider range of stakeholders. Innovative approaches for resource mobilization should be pursued for significant impacts.

Evaluation of FAO’s Contribution to Strategic Objective 4: Enabling Inclusive and Efficient Agricultural and Food Systems Annex 1. Analysis of Contributions to Gender Equality 2017

Promoting gender equality is recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as central to the Organization’s mandate, including to the Strategic Objective 4 (SO4) – Enable inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems. FAO has a long history of activities and interventions seeking to promote greater gender equality in Member Countries. This annex responds to a request by the Programme Committee during its 120th session (November 2016) that an annex be ded icated to gender in all Strategic Objective evaluations, using “the FAO gender policy standards as a baseline”.1 The evaluation has thus conducted an analysis of FAO’s global and country-level activities and contributions under Strategic Programme 4 (SP4) directed to achieve the minimum standards and objectives of the FAO Policy on Gender Equality
