UN Women & P4P
P4P Annual Consultations
29th – 30th January, 2013 - Rome
Our Partnership with P4P
•Forthcoming strategic planning cycle
provides a great opportunity to UNWomen and WFP for mutual
engagement to systematize and
strengthen partnership and synergies in
all relevant areas, including the P4P;
•UN-Women plays a key role in
supporting the advancement of P4P
gender mainstreaming goals;
•Within the framework of various
MoUs, the two agencies are working
closely to mainstream gender in several
countries across the globe.
What has worked well?
•UN/Government of Liberia Joint Programme for
Food Security and Nutrition (2008-2012): UN
Women provided organizational and business
development, and capacity strengthening to
women’s farming groups. Highly performing
women’s cooperatives are then connected to the
WFP P4P Programme to sell their produce;
•Ghana, Mozambique: Gender assessment
completed – next step: convene a workshop bringing
together national stakeholders to implement the
gender action plan;
•Rwanda: UN Women through its Programme on
Enhancing gender responsive service delivery in the
agriculture sector works in partnership with WFP
through the P4P to ensure that gender is
mainstreamed in the P4P;
•Honduras: UN Women worked with P4P in
developing a gender strategy, and supports various
gender mainstreaming activities
Looking Forward
•Nicaragua: P4P is in conversation
with UN Women to explore and
identify possible areas for common
work;
•South Sudan: P4P established
contact with UN Women in the
third quarter of 2012 to explore
partnership opportunities
•UN Women is currently
strengthening its regional
architecture and will be able to
leverage its partnership with P4P in
