Synopsis (short abstract) In this paper, we aim to synthesize and analyse the focus, results and main issues emanating from the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) in the region of Europe and Central Asia. In particular, the focus is the 17 FAO programme countries in the Western Balkans and Türkiye, Caucasus and CIS Europe, and Central Asia (ECA-17). We offer a stocktake of the outcomes from a subset of these dialogues – those convened by national governments, referred to under the UNFSS process as ‘Member State Dialogues’ – and of the pathways for food system transformation submitted by 11 of the 17 governments. These pathways, known as ‘National Pathways’, were informed by the Member State Dialogues and are intended as a blueprint to guide action beyond the UNFSS. This paper is intended to provide a succinct overview of country priorities and issues common among countries in ECA-17, and to inform national governments and food system stakeholders as they look to build on outcomes from the UNFSS and advance food system transformation at national level. It does not offer a broader overview of the state of food system-related policy in the region, nor does it draw on material beyond that submitted as part of the formal UNFSS process.

    Gender mainstreaming in climate investments in the agriculture, forestry and other land use sector in Europe and Central Asia

    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This resource guide aims to support decision-makers, development practitioners, trainers and civil society organizations representing both farmers and rural women in designing and implementing climate investment projects and programmes in the Europe and Central Asia Region. It features a practical conceptual framework to enhance gender mainstreaming in climate investment programming with a particular emphasis on the Green Climate Fund and Global Environment Facility modalities. The resource guide highlights practical examples and lessons learned relating to gender mainstreaming from the FAO regional climate investment portfolio by featuring six gender mainstreaming experiences (Armenia, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, Kosovo, Tajikistan and the region of Central Asia) delivering “better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life” as described in the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031. The case studies demonstrate how key results contribute to women’s empowerment, by increasing their access to decision-making mechanisms and realizing women’s pivotal role in taking forward climate change adaptation and mitigation work at the three levels of intervention (policy, institutional and beneficiary). The resource guide includes appendices providing tools and further resources, as well as a glossary.
