Across the Asia-Pacific region, women are well recognized as important contributors to food production and all other aspects of food systems. However, their lives and livelihoods are being affected in unprecedented ways by persistent social and gender inequalities, climate change and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The Regional Gender Strategy and Action Plan 2022–2025 for Asia and the Pacific translates FAO’s corporate Policy on Gender Equality 2020-2030 and gender action plan into an actionable agenda and presents the strategic and programme framework for FAO’s gender-related work in the region. The main objectives of the Regional Gender Strategy and Action Plan are to: i) identify and respond to regional trends and challenges that affect women’s equal and meaningful participation in the sectors of agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries; ii) mainstream gender perspectives in the regional priorities; iii) establish regional focus areas that will enable gender equality and women’s empowerment across agriculture, forestry, livestock, aquaculture and fisheries sectors; and iv) respond to new and emerging challenges and needs to build back gender-sensitive and -resilient lives and livelihoods. The strategy and action plan includes the two-year action plan for the region and the action and outreach plan which shows how FAO intends to reach out to different stakeholders and partners through various activities. -

Each issue of FAO Europe and Central Asia Gender Newsletter explores and discusses women’s and men’s experiences in agriculture and food security in the region plus familiarizes the reader with relevant FAO activities and initiatives. In each quarterly issue, the reader meets our real heroes and reads their stories: how communities, especially women from remote villages, strive to achieve a better life and how FAO, together with various partners and governments, stand hand-in-hand with them to achieve effective results. In this issue we feature FAO’s latest initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality in rural advisory services, agriculture and rural development in Europe and Central Asia. In this edition, we explore how women’s empowerment is catalyzing change within agrifood systems and provide insights from FAO’s Gender Week that highlight advances in gender equality. We also discuss how FAO contributed to championing the transformation of agrifood systems at COP29. A special focus is given to the Country Gender Assessment in rural Georgia, which outlines effective solutions for combating gender inequality in the country. Building on this theme, we share the story of Nino Kavtaradze, skilled dairy farmer who participated in Farmer Field Schools in Georgia. Additionally, this issue features stories of empowerment through the FAO-Türkiye partnership, celebrating milestones in gender equality that have been achieved collaboratively. Join us in exploring these compelling stories of resilience, collaboration, and progress towards a more gender-equal future in agriculture.
