    The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) was commissioned by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from October 2017 to February 2018 as a way to gauge Viet Nam’s progress in achieving gender equality in agriculture and the rural sector and as a mechanism to guide FAO’s strategic mission in Viet Nam. Its objective is to inform FAO country-level planning and programming in line with national development priorities and FAO’s mandate and strategic framework. The Assessment is also aimed at facilitating FAO’s contribution to the UN Country Team report on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) with up-to date and objective information on the situation of rural women in the country. The methodology of the CGA included a desk review of policies and programmes on agriculture, food and nutrition security and gender equality, a quantitative analysis of national statistics, in-depth interviews with FAO Viet Nam partners and qualitative surveys and focus group discussions (FGDs) conducted in two provinces (Ninh Thuan and Lao Cai).

    Communicating Gender For Rural Development - Integrating gender in communication for development 2011
    Also available in:
    In rural and agricultural development projects, ‘communication for development’ and ‘gender’ approaches are key to ensuring that food security, poverty and gender objectives are met sustainably. These two approaches are based on common values, namely the active and equal participation of all stakeholders, both men and women, and the empowerment of populations, particularly the most disadvantaged. They are in no way contradictory, and yet very few communication initiatives take the issue of gender into account. No doubt this is because gender is poorly understood, seen as complicated and labelled ‘a women’s issue’. Moreover, there is a tendency to forget that people’s livelihoods and their socioeconomic situation have a huge bearing on their ability to receive and transmit information. Lastly, commonly used methods of communication are supposedly gender-neutral. With gender seen as a ‘women’s issue’ and communication dressed in ‘unisex clothing’, it is hardly surprisin g that communication for development initiatives reach and engage more men than women, especially in rural areas.

    This manual provides guidance for organizing and facilitating training of trainers in gender-sensitive rural advisory services design and delivery. It has been developed as part of the FAO project “Capacity Development Support to Rural Women on the Socio-economic and Gender Aspects of Sustainable Rural Development”, which was implemented in Turkey and Azerbaijan, in 2014-16. The project was realized under the FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme and financed by the Government of Turkey. The manual is based on the pilot trainings carried out in Turkey and Azerbaijan and is intended to help meet the needs for training guidelines specifically designed for strengthening the gender sensitivity of rural advisory services. The guidelines are developed to be applied not just to one country situation, but for easy adaptation and use in strengthening advisory services globally. The manual content is organized into three main sections. Section 1 introduces the manual, section 2 provides detailed g uidelines for all stages of a workshop design and preparation and section 3 is a step by step programme for delivery of a four day workshop. A final section of annexes includes sample training materials, sample slide presentations and notes for use in workshop delivery, a glossary of gender related terminology, and useful references and resource material on gender and agriculture.
