Persisting inequalities between women and men continue to undermine global efforts to end hunger, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture and inclusive agri-food systems. Achieving gender equality and empowering women is a multifaceted and complex undertaking that calls for coordinated action between different organizations. The three United Nations Rome-based Agencies – FAO, IFAD and WFP – have therefore come together to implement the Joint Programme on Gender Transformative Approaches for Food Security, Improved Nutrition and Sustainable Agriculture (JP GTA), with the financial support of the European Union.This is the official flyer of the JP GTA. It gives some background on the Programme, including its objective, expected results, key components, and country-level activities. It also presents some key aspects of gender transformative approaches.

The Participatory Action Research methods and activities of the guide help ensure that gender is reflected in research activities and outcomes. The guide will help promote gender-sensitive adaptation and mitigation activities in projects for agriculture and food security. A gender-sensitive approach in agriculture is crucial to ensure that all people are supported to respond to climatic challenges.
