Synopsis (short abstract) The first Country Gender Assessment for Georgia was initiated in 2018, providing an overview of gender dynamics in agriculture and rural development. This comprehensive assessment reviews the progress made since 2018, highlighting critical gaps, new and persistent challenges and progress achieved. Adopting an agrifood systems approach, it examines the impacts of climate change and other shocks and crises on gender equality in Georgia's agrifood systems. The findings indicate notable advancements in the collection and analysis of sex-disaggregated data. However, critical sectoral gaps persist, particularly in addressing the needs of rural and young women. The assessment underscores opportunities for enhancing women’s empowerment in agriculture and rural development by drawing on good practices based on the experiences of FAO Representation in Georgia. The publication concludes with actionable recommendations for FAO and its partners.

    The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) for Tajikistan offers a comprehensive analysis of gender equality in agriculture and rural development. It identifies key gender disparities, examines their root causes and impacts, and proposes actionable recommendations for gender-responsive policies. Despite being the main agricultural workforce and playing a critical role in food security, women’s contributions remain undervalued, under-recognized, and largely unpaid. With increasing male outmigration from rural areas, women’s roles on farms are expanding, underscoring the urgent need to invest in their empowerment to boost agricultural productivity, enhance food security, and drive sustainable rural development.

    Belarus has eliminated extreme poverty, and economic growth and a stable system of social benefits mean that the national poverty rate is low. However, gender and spatial disparities still exist, with the rural population at greater risk of income poverty. In terms of individual poverty levels, women fare better than men in both rural and urban areas.This County Gender Assessment (CGA), the first by FAO for Belarus, identifies gender disparities observed across various dimensions of agriculture and rural livelihoods in the country. The aim of the CGA is to provide a framework and background information as a starting point for more targeted gender analysis in the context of future FAO project design and programming.The CGA serves as a resource, not only for FAO’s cooperation with its national partners, but also for other diverse stakeholders working in the fields of agriculture and rural development in Belarus.

    FAO’s first Country Gender Assessment for Montenegro explores the status of women and men in agriculture and rural development, identifying persistent gender gaps and opportunities to advance equality in agrifood systems. Despite progress in aligning national legislation with international and EU standards, rural women remain underrepresented among landowners and decision-makers and face limited access to resources, finance, and training. The assessment highlights key trends and challenges and provides a basis for integrating gender perspectives into FAO programmes and national policies, supporting more inclusive and gender-responsive rural development.
