| Description | Evers, B and J. Harrigan. 2003. SEAGA Macro Level Handbook. Gender analysis in macroeconomic and agricultural sector policies and programmes. Socioeconomic and Gender Analysis Programme, FAO.This Handbook is part of FAO’s renewed emphasis on policy assistance and on building a policy capacity in developing countries towards the ultimate aim of contributing to greater food security and to poverty reduction. It is also part of the Organization’s work of mainstreaming gender in all aspects of policy-making, including economic policies. While it is acknowledged that food security and poverty are to be addressed from a multisectoral perspective, it is also widely recognised that it is the growth of the agriculture and rural sector that has the most linkages with the growth of the rural economy as a whole. The role of women in agriculture is well known and documented by now as well as their pivotal role in ensuring food security, both through production and through other rural activities enabling access to food. The purpose of this Handbook is to show that both men’s and women’s productive capacity and their capacity to participate in the economy is shaped by their gender roles and that, therefore, gender relations impact agricultural outcomes and affect economic efficiency. There is evidence that gender equity is shown to be linked to increased efficiency and increased prospects for rural growth and the development of the rural economy. It follows that gender ought not to be considered as a purely social issue or an add-on category to decision-making but rather, as an integral part of policy-making and implementation, thus deserving explicit analytical attention. |
