Descripción
The EAF-Nansen Programme helped establish dedicated “Gender Desk” within the Fisheries Ministries in Tanzania and The Gambia from 2022 to 2023, to mainstream gender in all activities of the institutions’ work within the national fisheries sector. The experience showed that there are different levels of awareness and consideration of gender issues to be taken into account, and that there is a need to build institutional capacity on gender mainstreaming. A “Gender Desk” also needs to be a multi-sectoral and multi-level intervention focused on replicability and partnership, to succeed.This document summarizes the lessons learned from the collaborative effort that involved colleagues from the EAF-Nansen Programme, and various gender units in the Food and AgricultureOrganization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Fisheries and Aquaculture Division (NFISG), both at the Regional Office for Africa and in Headquarters. Experts from other relevant FAO teams and UN Women were also identified to lead specific aspects. The target audience for this document is the collection of beneficiaries and sectoral institutions of the EAF-Nansen Programme working in the fisheries sector. This fact sheet is also intended to serve as a guide and/or model for partner countries that are yet to establish fisheries gender desks.
