ProjectGuidelinePreparing the CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in the Context of Food Security and Nutrition - GCP/GLO/493/MUL 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Despite years of progress and global commitments, gender disparities and discrimination in food security persist around the world, particularly affecting women and girls in vulnerable situations. To address these issues, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) included the development of a set of Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in the context of Food Security and Nutrition in its 2020–2023 Multi-Year Programme of Work (MYPoW). The Guidelines, which were prepared under this project, aimed to (i) support CFS Member States, development partners and other stakeholders to advance the rights of women and girls, as well as gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment (GEWGE) in their efforts to eradicate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; and (ii) to provide guidance to countries as they work to contribute to the achievement of CFS’s vision and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 (Zero Hunger) and 5 (Gender Equality). -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePromoting the dissemination and uptake of the Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in the Context of Food Security and Nutrition 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment in the Context of Food Security and Nutrition (VG-GEWGE) are a unique opportunity to be seized. The guidelines are the first inter-governmental and multistakeholder negotiated policy instrument aligning the objectives and agendas of food security and nutrition with gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment. Negotiated by 130+ countries, the VG-GEWGE represent a landmark achievement in which Committee on World Food Security (CFS) Members commit to tackle gender inequalities for enhanced food security and nutrition. They provide an important normative umbrella and entry point for the development of policies and programmes at country level addressing the root causes of gender-based discrimination, including rigid social norms. FAO actively participated in the development, consultation and negotiation process of the VG-GEWGE. The implementation of the guidelines is voluntary by definition and depends on political will and targeted investment of time and human resources. Through the Commit to Grow Equality initiative, FAO has stated its support to the uptake and dissemination of the VG-GEWGE. A testament to its engagement, in January 2025, FAO launched a multi-year programme to promote the uptake of the VG-GEWGE with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Additional programme activities are funded by Global Affairs Canada, the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, and the Government of France.
