Women receive less than ten cents in every dollar spent on agricultural assistance – what are FAO, IFAD, and the World Bank doing to address that imbalance?
FAO assists governments to develop equitable and gender-sensitive policies in agriculture. It trains government ministries and local organizations to consider and apply equitable approaches towards all men and women farmers. FAO does not give financial assistance but helps stakeholders in developing countries to be aware of and address the needs of both their male and female vulnerable poor and hungry people. FAO supports specific capacity building projects for young people, rural women and communities and helps to carry out research on topics of local and global importance such as high food prices and climate change. Over the last ten years, IFAD has worked hard with its partner countries in mainstreaming gender in the programmes and projects it finances, by integrating gender into key business processes and providing support for gender training, capacity-building, knowledge management and implementation. The clearest impact of IFAD supported-programmes and projects has been achieved
