Book (stand-alone)Mainstreaming gender into project cycle management in the fisheries sector. Field manual 2011
Also available in:
Although the fisheries sector has long been considered a male domain, the involvement and contribution of women is far more significant than often assumed. To date, there is relatively little guidance or specific recommendations on how to effectively address gender in the context of small-scale fisheries development. FAO fully acknowledges the importance of addressing gender issues in development projects as a way to promote gender equity and improve fisheries livelihoods. Too often, there is in sufficient attention paid to the gender issues that affect fishing communities. There is also a lack of tools and guidance on how gender issues in such communities can be addressed. This field guide provides practical advice on how to ensure that gender concerns are explicitly recognized and incorporated into all phases of small-scale fisheries development projects. -
Book (stand-alone)What gender mainstreaming means in practice
Cases from selected countries of the European Union
2018Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has continuously demonstrated within its work that gender equality is not simply a matter of human rights, but is key to eliminating poverty and hunger. It is only by closing the gender gap that sustainable agriculture and rural development can reach their full potential. Consequently, FAO is committed to promoting gender equality in all of its interventions, as well as by building knowledge, identifying promising practices and widely disseminating these among member states and national partners. This publication focuses on case studies from five member countries of the European Union (EU). These illustrate how gender equality issues can be addressed in agriculture and rural development policies (including fisheries and aquaculture, forestry and livestock), programmes and practices. This publication forms part of FAO’s wider efforts to collect, analyse and disseminate promising practices on gender mainstreaming. -
