Synopsis (short abstract) In the context of FAO's Global Action (GA) on Green Development of Special Agro-Products (SAPs), themed as “One Country – One Priority Product” (OCOP), given that OCOP shares similar philosophy as the One Village One Product (OVOP) movement and taking advantages of the rich experiences of OVOP and advances made by Asian countries, especially Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)'s support in many OVOP projects around the world, this publication presents an overview of the OVOP movement globally and showcases how OVOP can boost rural economies and increase food security nutrition through the development of local products hence contributing to SDG 1, 2, and 10. Chapter I explains what OVOP is and how it has been disseminated outside Japan. Chapter II provides overview of JICA's support for OVOP. In Chapter III, JICA’s OVOP projects are analyzed in terms of their objectives, alignment to strategic policy framework, target population, products/services, governance structure and monitoring and evaluation. Chapter IV reviews the process and interventions taken in OVOP projects and identifies good practices.Chapter V lists success factors which are extracted from OVOP projects. FAO’s One Country–One Priority Product (OCOP) projects are encouraged to refer to them in their planning and implementation phases. Lastly, in Chapter VII, several implications and recommendations for OCOP are drawn from OVOP experiences of JICA.

    This brief is associated with the "Practical guide on how to eliminate GBV and protect rural communities through food security and agriculture interventions". Its primary objective is to provide a concise overview of the essential measures and suggestions for mitigating and responding to gender-based violence within the operational areas of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Such violence has profound repercussions on agricultural and rural development, food security and nutrition, and rural poverty.

    Gender-based violence is a pervasive, persistent and global reality. Increasingly, it affects the environments where the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) operates, with impacts on agricultural and rural development, food security and nutrition, and rural poverty. Humanitarian emergencies, hunger, malnutrition and poverty tend to increase the prevalence of gender-based violence, which, in turn, undermines households, communities, and national food security and nutrition by impacting people’s livelihoods, health, skills and knowledge. This significantly reduces the resilience of survivors and weakens their capacity to be productive workers, earners and carers for the next generation, setting off a terrible circle of violence. With the new emerging global challenges and cries, including the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts and climate change – poverty, food insecurity and gender-based violence are exacerbating. This called for a new updated guidance that addresses the new and intertwined challenges the world is now facing. This guidance is meant to support country offices, FAO staff and strategic partners in the fight against any form of gender-based violence, facilitate the integration of protection issues in an FAO project cycle, and support the collection and analysis of data disaggregated by sex and other social variables for generating the evidence for policy-making and planning of gender-responsive and gender-transformative interventions. The guide provides the needed tools and promising approaches and experiences of the last decade used successfully to address GBV and eliminate protection risks in the field. It is a continuing project that will evolve as FAO accumulates experiences and lessons learned in an ever-changing working environment.
