Descripción
Within the framework of the 50x2030 initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap, FAO supported Liberia, Sierra Leone and the United Republic of Tanzania in operationalizing the Women’s Empowerment Metric for National Statistical Systems (WEMNS) alongside the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) metric through the integration of a dedicated module in their annual agricultural surveys. This approach is referred to as the integrated Women's Empowerment and Nutrition (WEN) approach. The WEN survey module generates reliable, gender-disaggregated data on key dimensions of empowerment and nutrition within agricultural households, informing gender- and nutrition-sensitive policies and programmes. This note summarizes key indicators related to women’s empowerment and dietary diversity within agricultural households in the three countries and provides comparative data for women and men across empowerment domains, enabling the analysis of gender gaps and providing actionable insights to inform agricultural, nutrition, and gender equality policies.
