Synopsis (short abstract) At present, there is no standard or validated set of social norms indicators for food security and nutrition, and there is a general lack of clear and practical guidance and examples of such indicators for these sectors. Seeking to contribute to filling this gap, this guide will assist with formulating indicators to measure changes in gendered social norms in the context of food security and nutrition. It also offers an initial set of example indicators that programme implementers can draw on to assess social norms change in the context of food security and nutrition programmes. It draws from existing indicators from literature and programme experiences around measuring social norms, including in other sectors, and creates original indicators as well. This guide is designed for programme formulators and implementers, and monitoring and evaluation specialists responsible for creating and implementing M&E frameworks and systems for food security, agriculture and nutrition programmes.

    Guidelines for measuring gender transformative change in the context of food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture 2023
    Also available in:
    These Guidelines include step-by-step guidance to formulate qualitative and quantitative indicators of gender transformative change to help gender experts and food security, agriculture and nutrition programme specialists in their efforts to design, implement, monitor and evaluate gender transformative interventions. These indicators should be distinctive from and a complement to other reach, benefit and empower indicators intended to contribute to gender equality outcomes in food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture. The Guidelines also present an overarching framework for measuring gender transformative change in the context of food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture, including key dimensions and a socio-ecological model for identifying spheres of influence within which gender transformative change can be measured. Additionally, the Guidelines bring attention to other important issues to consider when to implement the framework and when to develop context-specific indicators of gender transformative change, such as the incorporation of insider perspectives and consideration to intersectional forms of discrimination.

    Also available in:
    Persisting inequalities between women and men continue to undermine global efforts to end hunger, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture and inclusive agri-food systems. Achieving gender equality and empowering women is a multifaceted and complex undertaking that calls for coordinated action between different organizations. The three United Nations Rome-based Agencies – FAO, IFAD and WFP – have therefore come together to implement the Joint Programme on Gender Transformative Approaches for Food Security, Improved Nutrition and Sustainable Agriculture (JP GTA), with the financial support of the European Union.This is the official flyer of the JP GTA. It gives some background on the Programme, including its objective, expected results, key components, and country-level activities. It also presents some key aspects of gender transformative approaches.
