Book (stand-alone)Manual / guidePractical guide for the Incorporation of the Intersectionality approach in sustainable rural development programmes and projects 2022
Also available in:
In Latin America and the Caribbean, access to food and nutritional security, the poverty situation, and the capacity to respond to climate change are strongly related to gender, ethnic-racial origin, age group, and territory differences. A situation that demands observing the intertwined nature of these inequalities and proposing new ways to achieve sustainable development, leaving no one behind. This challenge prompted the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to develop a guide that facilitates the development of programmes and projects with an intersectional approach. The objective of the tool is to give rise to innovative and sensitive work methodologies that allow the identification of inequalities and the development of socio-territorially relevant and systemic solutions, aimed to eliminate the knots of inequality. Contributing in this way to the effective implementation of FAO's policies on gender equality and on indigenous and tribal peoples. -
