Descripción
This Country Gender Assessment (CGA) was commissioned by FAO as part of the regional programme ‘Promoting gender equality through knowledge generation and awareness raising’ which aims to support the review and formulation of gender-responsive sectoral policies, strategies and programs and to accelerate the implementation of the FAO Policy on Gender Equality and the Asia Pacific Regional Gender Strategy and Action Plan 2017-2019. The Assessment evaluates the progress of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic’s in achieving gender equality in the agricultural and rural sectors, and as a mechanism to guide FAO’s strategic mission in Lao People’s Democratic Republic. The analysis in this assessment comes from both an extensive desk review of existing literature related to women in agriculture in Lao People’s Democratic Republic and from field work in the Phaxai district of Xieng Khouang province which lies in the north east of the country.
