Synopsis (short abstract) Promoting gender equality is recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as central to the Organization’s mandate, including to the Strategic Objective 4 (SO4) – Enable inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems. FAO has a long history of activities and interventions seeking to promote greater gender equality in Member Countries. This annex responds to a request by the Programme Committee during its 120th session (November 2016) that an annex be ded icated to gender in all Strategic Objective evaluations, using “the FAO gender policy standards as a baseline”.1 The evaluation has thus conducted an analysis of FAO’s global and country-level activities and contributions under Strategic Programme 4 (SP4) directed to achieve the minimum standards and objectives of the FAO Policy on Gender Equality
