NewsletterNewsletterAfrica Gender Newsletter, June 2025 – Issue #1 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This first edition of the Africa Regional Gender Newsletter marks a significant milestone: the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most visionary global commitment to achieving gender equality. Over the last three decades, Africa has made notable strides towards expanding legal protections for women and girls and closing the gender gap in education. However, critical challenges persist in economic inclusion. Women remain disproportionately represented in informal and vulnerable employment, with limited access to financial services and social protection. Their livelihoods are also increasingly threatened by climate change and environmental degradation. Against this backdrop, the newsletter spotlights regional and country-level actions advancing gender equality. We feature vibrant International Women’s Day celebrations across the continent, with a closer look at initiatives in Burundi and Mali. We also highlight regional advocacy at the 11th Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD), with a focus on women’s roles in intra-regional trade. We also include inspiring stories of women leading climate adaptation efforts in Cameroon, and reflect on key capacity-building activities, such as training on gender-sensitive rural advisory services and efforts marking the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. In addition, we provide an overview of recent and upcoming Country Gender Assessments (CGAs) in agrifood systems and share updates from Gender Focal Points' meetings showcasing a collective commitment to driving impactful change. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
