Une Initiative regionale de la FAO
2016Also available in:
Based on experience and lessons learned in 2014-15, Africa’s RI2 (originally entitled “Integrated Management of Agricultural Landscapes in Africa”) has been revamped for implementation in 2016-17 to sharpen its focus and to make it more programmatic. It takes a food systems approach with two integrated components, namely sustainable production intensification and inclusive value chain development with special consideration to gender, youth, governance and climate change perspectives, as further outlined below. This publication aims to provide background information and raise awareness among member states of the Regional Initiative 2 on 'Sustainable intensification of production and value chain development in Africa' ahead of the SP2/RI2 Sustainable Food and Agriculture Regional Workshop which is coming up in Kigali, Rwanda from 19-21 September 2016. -

Technical studyGender and food loss in sustainable fish value chains in Africa 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Food losses are a major concern and occur in most fish distribution chains worldwide. Not only do losses constitute lost income to fishers, processors, and traders, but they also contribute to food insecurity. Progress has been made in identifying the direct causes of fish losses and quantifying the magnitude of the loss. However, loss reduction strategies have tended to focus on technological solutions and hence have overlooked the relevance of socio-economic factors, including gender relations, that influence the functioning of the fisheries value chain. This document provides guidance on integrating gender concerns into food loss interventions within the fish value chains. It describes the different steps to understand the key components of a gender-sensitive food loss value chain analysis. In particular, it recommends highlighting the dynamics and factors that influence women’s and men’s natural social disposition and participation in fisheries activities according to dominant assigned gender roles. While addressing the existing knowledge gaps and contributing to the development of an approach tailored to African small-scale fish value chains, this document also provides introductory information on the application of the FAO Gender-Responsive Fish Loss Assessment Methodology (GRFLAM).
