    Core set of gender indicators in Agriculture 2016
    Also available in:

    The FAO, in the effort to assist its Member countries, proposed a simple unified methodology to guide the collection and analysis of gender-sensitive data in agriculture: the Socio-Economic and Gender Analysis approach or SEAGA. This methodology has been instrumental by the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia in developing a core set of gender indicators for further integration into national agricultural statistical systems.

    This guidance note was developed to support development and humanitarian practitioners in carrying out a gender-sensitive vulnerability assessment, in order to identify and address the main sources of vulnerability of men and women in the agriculture sector. The note describes what are the main constraints that male and female farmers face in the agriculture sector, with a focus on climate change. It also provides an overview of available sources and methodologies to collect and analyze sex-disaggregated data. The specific aspects of climate change and targeted outcomes for men and women can vary widely across diverse areas, so this note discusses data sources and empirical approaches that can be applied across different contexts.

    Support to Use Sex Disaggregated Data in Agriculture to Make Second Generation National Agriculture Investment Plans (NAIPS) and Regional Agriculture Investment Plans (RAIPS) Gender Responsive - TCP/RAF/3803 2024
    Also available in:

    The lack of sex-disaggregated data in the agricultural sector is a great hindrance to understanding and addressing gender disparities in rural African communities. Existing plans and strategies inadequately capture the complexity of women's lives, impacting their ability to benefit from investment and growth opportunities. Better data is needed to (1) account for all of women’s work, (2) help improve women’s productivity and food security and nutrition, and (3) better understand and more effectively tackle poverty. Disaggregated data can support policymakers in developing gender-sensitive plans, however a joint review by the African Union Commission (AUC) and FAO found that Regional and National Agricultural Investment Plans (RAIPs and NAIPs) do not sufficiently take gender issues into account. NAIPs are key to deciding how policies and strategies will look in terms of national investments in agriculture and are critical to food production, the generation of national wealth from agriculture, managing risks, building assets, and reducing poverty.
