Book (stand-alone)Communicating Gender For Rural Development - Integrating gender in communication for development 2011
Also available in:
In rural and agricultural development projects, ‘communication for development’ and ‘gender’ approaches are key to ensuring that food security, poverty and gender objectives are met sustainably. These two approaches are based on common values, namely the active and equal participation of all stakeholders, both men and women, and the empowerment of populations, particularly the most disadvantaged. They are in no way contradictory, and yet very few communication initiatives take the issue of gender into account. No doubt this is because gender is poorly understood, seen as complicated and labelled ‘a women’s issue’. Moreover, there is a tendency to forget that people’s livelihoods and their socioeconomic situation have a huge bearing on their ability to receive and transmit information. Lastly, commonly used methods of communication are supposedly gender-neutral. With gender seen as a ‘women’s issue’ and communication dressed in ‘unisex clothing’, it is hardly surprisin g that communication for development initiatives reach and engage more men than women, especially in rural areas. -

Also available in:
No results found.This manual provides guidance for organizing and facilitating training of trainers in gender-sensitive rural advisory services design and delivery. It has been developed as part of the FAO project “Capacity Development Support to Rural Women on the Socio-economic and Gender Aspects of Sustainable Rural Development”, which was implemented in Turkey and Azerbaijan, in 2014-16. The project was realized under the FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme and financed by the Government of Turkey. The manual is based on the pilot trainings carried out in Turkey and Azerbaijan and is intended to help meet the needs for training guidelines specifically designed for strengthening the gender sensitivity of rural advisory services. The guidelines are developed to be applied not just to one country situation, but for easy adaptation and use in strengthening advisory services globally. The manual content is organized into three main sections. Section 1 introduces the manual, section 2 provides detailed g uidelines for all stages of a workshop design and preparation and section 3 is a step by step programme for delivery of a four day workshop. A final section of annexes includes sample training materials, sample slide presentations and notes for use in workshop delivery, a glossary of gender related terminology, and useful references and resource material on gender and agriculture. -
ProjectSupport to Use Sex Disaggregated Data in Agriculture to Make Second Generation National Agriculture Investment Plans (NAIPS) and Regional Agriculture Investment Plans (RAIPS) Gender Responsive - TCP/RAF/3803 2024
Also available in:
The lack of sex-disaggregated data in the agricultural sector is a great hindrance to understanding and addressing gender disparities in rural African communities. Existing plans and strategies inadequately capture the complexity of women's lives, impacting their ability to benefit from investment and growth opportunities. Better data is needed to (1) account for all of women’s work, (2) help improve women’s productivity and food security and nutrition, and (3) better understand and more effectively tackle poverty. Disaggregated data can support policymakers in developing gender-sensitive plans, however a joint review by the African Union Commission (AUC) and FAO found that Regional and National Agricultural Investment Plans (RAIPs and NAIPs) do not sufficiently take gender issues into account. NAIPs are key to deciding how policies and strategies will look in terms of national investments in agriculture and are critical to food production, the generation of national wealth from agriculture, managing risks, building assets, and reducing poverty.
