Also available in:
No results found.This report examines the potential of using mass media to enhance the access of poor rural households and women to educational opportunities. It underlines the importance for the mass media to create conditions and mechanisms whereby people have genuine access to media. The successful and innovative experience of the Bayanihan Broadcasting Cooperation (BBC) in the municipality of Infanta in Quezon Province in the Philippines is documented through a case study that describes the BBC’s innovative community-based radio broadcasting model, which has been effectively used to promote sustainable agriculture. The study develops a framework for a community-based radio distance learning system (CBR-DLS) which can serve as a helpful guide to assist with the planning and implementation of radio based distance learning programmes elsewhere. -

Also available in:
No results found.Rural women in Asia make significant contributions to the agricultural sector, but their access to information and communication technology and current techniques of production still needs to be improved. The Asian region has yet to fully utilize the immense potential of distance learning for agriculture and rural development, particularly among rural women. The above expert consultation, held in Beijing, China from 23 to 26 October 2001, focused on identifying modalities of distance learn ing and open university programmes that could be used for improving the status of rural women. Specifically, the aim was to define a regional strategy that would incorporate partnership linkages among Asian distance learning programmes and institutions to improve rural women’s learning, and promote distance learning approaches to improve technology transfer to strengthen rural women’s competence in farm and household production. The report gives a summary of the presentations and highlights of t he discussions and recommendations. -
BookletRural Women and Girls 25 years after Beijing: critical agents of positive change 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Globally, and with only a few exceptions, rural and indigenous women fare worse than rural men and urban women and men on every indicator for which data are available. Although they share challenges in the form of rural location and genderbased discrimination, rural women and girls are not a homogeneous group. The opportunities and constraints they face differ across their lifetimes, contexts and circumstances; they are influenced by location and socio-economic status and social identities associated with other forms of marginalization, such as indigenous origin and ethnicity, age, disability, migrant or refugee status. The complex experiences of rural and indigenous women and girls mean that they commonly face varied and deeply entrenched obstacles to empowerment. It is thus imperative to not only take stock of the broad experiences of rural women and girls, but also to recognize and address the specific needs and distinct realities faced by those constituting these two groups. This document highlights some of the ways in which this can be achieved. This includes good practices from the members of the Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality in the thematic areas of education; food security and nutrition; health; access to and control over land and other productive resources; leadership, decision-making and public life; social protection and services; care and domestic work; GBV; and resilience in the context of climate change and fragility.
