Global commitment to enhance gender equality in agrifood systems through financing and partnerships

No results found.Commit to Grow Equality (CGE) is a global process launched by FAO and a diverse group of partners to accelerate gender equality and women’s empowerment in agrifood systems through financing, investments and partnerships. The objective is to unite key stakeholders to commit to make agrifood systems work better for women, their communities, and the planet by 2030. In particular, CGE aims to contribute to the achievement of SDGs 1, 2 and 5. CGE will enable a diverse range of actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to report against a strategic set of commitments specifically linked to agrifood systems. Through their new and newly aligned commitment(s) to various dimensions of the CGE Commitments Matrix, these actors are agreeing to take specific action(s) to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment within their own domains. The matrix offers the opportunity to identify areas for enhanced impact, align and complement action, increase transparency and learning, and remind all actors of their commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment. -
Book (series)The role of small and medium agrifood enterprises in rural transformation – The case of rice processors in Kenya 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This study looks at the business models of small and medium sized rice processors in Kenya in order to better understand the policy and technical support they need to grow and fulfil their role in agrifood systems transformation. More specifically, by employing semi-structured interviews with Kenyan rice millers, the technical study identifies challenges in their day-to-day business activities, including procurement, inbound and outbound logistics, in-house operations, financing, and human resources management. Additionally, the publication looks at opportunities for improving the business enabling environment in which these enterprises operate, providing a set of policy options to foster their role. The methodology cross fertilises different disciplinary perspectives in order to gather evidence for formulating policy in a way that integrates several policy fields and cross-cutting issues such as food safety, quality and nutrition; farmer-market linkages; decent rural employment and gender equality; or rural investment. The paper showcases how small and medium agrifood manufacturers respond to the business enabling environment and also contribute to local development from multiple angles.
