Book (stand-alone)General interest bookThe impact of COVID-19 on gender equality and food security in the Arab region with a focus on the Sudan and Iraq 2022
Also available in:
No results found.A Regional Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) is conducted with a special focus on Iraq and the Sudan as case studies to provide information about the different needs, capacities and coping strategies of women, men, boys and girls in a crisis. Rapid Gender Analysis is built up progressively: using a range of primary and secondary information to understand gender roles and relations and how they may change during a crisis. It provides practical programming and operational recommendations to meet the different needs of women, men, boys and girls and to ensure we ‘do no harm’. Rapid gender analysis uses the tools and approaches of gender analysis fameworks and adapts them to the shorter time-frames, rapidly changing contexts, and insecure environments that often characterise humanitarian interventions, to ensure that data is available to inform humanitarian response efforts and contributing to recovery and preparedness efforts. -
PresentationPresentationAddressing gendered impacts of COVID-19: Experiences from Pakistan
Webinar powerpoint
2020Also available in:
No results found.In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, the gendered implications have highlighted the unequal impact of the pandemic. Lack of gender-sensitivity in the preparation for and subsequent response has only compounded the challenges for women and children. Women in Pakistan are essential contributors to economic and social sectors and have been faced with less access to necessary resources, services, and time– factors that are hindering their productivity. With COVID-19, the multidimensional gender inequalities and gender gaps have exacerbated, giving rise to massive challenges across the country, striking on societies, economies and political systems. Preparedness and response efforts must better understand these gender dimensions to avoid widening inequalities. To look beyond the immediate and necessary response to the crisis, there is a need to identify the best strategies to address the impacts by framing policies to build back inclusively and set a new course of action in all sectors, in collaboration with policy makers, local government and other institutions. It is therefore an obligation to adopt communication strategies, including Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) strategies, that ensure vulnerable members of rural communities are targeted, including women and children. This webinar looks at the impacts of COVID-19 on women and explores the gender and COVID-sensitive RCCE activities of two United Nations (UN) agencies in Pakistan. The Heads of agencies in Pakistan of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) will share lessons learned from these activities. -

Book (series)Working paperImpact of mastitis in small scale dairy production systems 2014
Also available in:
No results found.Mastitis is the most prevalent production disease in dairy herds worldwide and it is well documented as disease with a heavy burden in developed countries, while very limited information is available for developing countries. This paper reviews the existing literature on the topic of mastitis to assist in the analysis of its occurrence in developing countries, focusing on small-scale farming systems and to provide information on the economic dimension of the disease in resource-poor environments . To the author’s knowledge, there are no pertinent published studies and so the purpose here is to summarize most of the data available on mastitis in resourcepoor environments, with a focus on small-scale producers. The papers reviewed show a significant prevalence of the disease throughout numerous herds in different countries in Africa and Asia, especially in its sub-clinical form. Economic estimates were limited to a few countries and conducted with disparate methodologies. Another issue hi ghlighted is the lack of awareness among farmers of the subclinical form of the disease, and this aspect is of fundamental importance because of the possibility of spreading infectious agents through the herd. The lack of medical treatment means, as demonstrated, an increase in the occurrence of mastitis cases on the farm, a consistent decrease in milk yield (up to 33% per quarter infected), a public health risk due to consumption of unsafe milk, and less efficient processing of milk. The data c ollected and organized can be used as a starting point to concentrate future efforts on the study and control of mastitis and its impact in developing countries, with a focus on its relevance for vulnerable small-scale farmer households.
