    Regional Gender Equality Strategy and Action Plan for Europe and Central Asia (2016-2017) 2016
    Also available in:

    Addressing gender equality is a fundamental part of FAO’s mandate. Social and economic inequalities between women and men undermine food security and restrict economic growth and advances in agriculture. The problems of hunger, malnutrition and rural poverty cannot be solved unless and until women and men are treated equally and gender disparities are challenged. In order to ensure that gender issues are adequately addressed at all levels of planning, and throughout implementation processes and each Strategic Objective, gender has been incorporated into the new FAO Strategic Framework as a Cross-Cutting Theme. This means that FAO recognizes the critical importance of the issue and is committed to gender equality across its full remit, including the areas of: food and nutrition security, agriculture and consumer protection, economic and social development, fisheries and aquaculture, forestry, natural resource management and environment, technical cooperation, knowledge exchange, researc h and extension.

    This Regional Gender Equality Strategy for 2019–2022, developed by the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (REU), succeeds the first Regional Gender Equality Strategy and Action Plan 2016–2017, which was implemented successfully. This strategy, for the next four years, is based on the results of the FAO REU stock-taking exercises conducted in 2012 and 2017; and the feedback received at the 40th session of the European Commission on Agriculture (27–28 September 2017); and the feedback received from nearly 60 technical officers and staff, including gender focal points, at the brainstorming session of the Regional Initiative Coordination Meeting (12 September 2018) and the FAO REU regional gender mainstreaming workshop held on 18–19 October 2018 in Ankara, Turkey. The regional strategy and action plans outline main areas of REU gender work in the region, roles and responsibilities of the management, technical officers and gender specialists, and objectives and targets.
