Book (stand-alone)Mainstreaming gender into project cycle management in the fisheries sector. Field manual (Thai version) 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)DAD-IS:2 - User’s Manual for National Coordinators for the Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources 1998
Also available in:
The Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS) is the key communication and information tool for implementing the Global Strategy for the Management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR). It is being developed first to assist countries and country networks, and also serves as the virtual structure for the Strategy. It will increasingly provide extensive searchable databases, tools, guidelines, refernces, links and contacts. DAD-IS is physically based at FAO, Rome, Italy, but acces sible from any country in the world via the Internet. The development of DAD-IS saves countries the cost of developing and maintaining such a system individually. Yet it virtually is an individual system, because the build-in security offers countries full control over the information they store, release and maintain with the system. DAD-IS objectives are to: - involve, co-ordinate and assist Governments, NGO's, training and research groups in all countries and international agencies operati ng within and across world regions; and - help achieve better management of all AnGR used for the production of food and agriculture in all countries, in accordance with the World Food Summit Plan of Action and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
