This project, started in 2014 under the FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme, was developed to improve services for rural women by enhancing the capacity of institutions and of agricultural extension and rural advisory services staff in Turkey and Azerbaijan. The project’s ultimate objective was to promote rural women’s socio-economic integration and enhance their income generation skills, by increasing rural women’s capacity and improving the design and delivery of gendersensitive agricultural exte nsion and rural advisory services. The project put the utmost emphasis on enhancing rural women’s knowledge and skills in agricultural production and related activities. It also emphasized the development of tools and methods to help design demand-focused programmes that effectively respond to the needs of farmers, especially women farmers. In addition, good practices and experiences of the Rural Women Services Unit of the Department of Training, Extension and Publication of the MFAL were shared . In the long term, it is expected that through more effective targeting, delivery of services and better impact assessment, public extension and rural advisory services will be able to reach rural women more efficiently. Rural women will improve their knowledge, skills and capacities in agricultural production and economic diversification, which will lead to socio-economic development, including rural income generation and improved household food security and livelihoods. The project also contr ibuted to FAO’s efforts in rural poverty reduction, as well as its support for innovation in service provision -

It was attended by eight experts from the region. The meeting was organized as a result of a process, comprising an external evaluation of the Committee on Aquaculture (CAQ) and its Networks, in 2004, and the endorsement by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) at it s thirtieth session (January 2006) of a meeting of experts to identify the needs for a GFCM subsidiary body of CAQ which would deal with the socio-economic and technical aspects of aquaculture in the Mediterranean. The experts defined the terms of reference, priorities and modus operandi of such a subsidiary body. They also requested the fifth session of CAQ a) to endorse the establishment of the Coordinating Steering Group on Technical, Economic and Social Aspects of Aquaculture in the Mediterr anean (TESAM) and the ad hoc working groups proposed, b) to present results to the Commission at its forthcoming session, c) to review and redefine the objectives and terms of reference of the GFCM CAQ in order to reflect more precisely the socio-economic and technical issues that CAQ should handle for the Commission, d) to explore the possibility of a merger of the Environment and Aquaculture in the Mediterranean Network (EAM) and TESAM, to ensure a lighter cost-effective and efficient structur e for CAQ subsidiary bodies, and e) to instruct the Information System for the Promotion of Aquaculture in the Mediterranean (SIPAM) to start collecting more socio-economic, technical and research-related data and information to facilitate the work of TESAM. The meeting of experts was informed of the findings and recommendations of the Workshop on European Seabass and Gilthead Seabream Markets, that was held in Rome on 12 May 2006. Many of the recommendations from the workshop were translated in to activities to be carried out by the ad hoc Working Group on Marketing as proposed by the Expert Meeting.
