FOOD SECURITY INSIGHTS FROM THE
2011 ROLL-OUT






good news: practice is better than projects
many projects lack gender analysis / baseline
better targeting is possible when WFP-FAO
collaborate well
women in farming couples are invisible
overdependence on FHH activities to get good
gender code
food for work and training often does not create
equal opportunities for men and women
GENDER ANALYSIS
Discussion: identify the gender dimensions
 seed
 food distribution
 irrigation channel
rehabilitation
 transport of
food and NFIs
 pest management
GENDER ANALYSIS - Punjab
Bootaywala:
 EUFF equipment distributed saves women 183 hr of work
/acre but adds 4 hr to men’s work
 men get machines/new technology – women get hand tools
 women spend 2 to 3 hours for each hour men invest in rice
production
 women invest 30+ workdays weeding each acre of cotton
 laser leveling would save men 14 hr/acre each cotton crop
 feminization of agricultural day labour
Ali Pur:
 M/F different financial coping skills i.e. goat share-cropping
ROLE of the CLUSTER COORDINATOR


gender analysis in the Needs
Assessment (NAF)
ensuring gender is a priority in the
Cluster Response Plan
building capacity of IPs to bring
gender dimensions into projects
ensuring the vetting team assigns
accurate gender codes
enables monitoring to ensure
project implementation fulfills the
gender code
HQ SUPPORT to FS CLUSTER





gender technical support and mentoring
resources for gender analysis
equip FAO/WFP staff to be good role models: in
design of good gender projects and assigning
gender codes - some donors will judge the cluster
based on its coordination projects
assist cluster to create or customize gender tools
(SEAGA –IASC) and to improve project design
support for active monitoring of gender outcomes
recognize gender leadership in performance
reviews
THE GENDER MARKER PAY-OFF
 improved targeting to
beneficiaries
potential for more food
production and more
effective food aid
stronger gender
outcomes – using RBM
more cohesive projects
more potential to
attract donors
If women had the same access to
productive resources on their
farms as men, they could increase
yields by 20-30% and lift up to
150 million out of hunger.
On average men comprise 57%
and women 43% of the
agricultural labour force in
developing countries.
