Resumen
Descripción
Evidence suggests that rural women find themselves at a disadvantage in getting access to agricultural support services – be it rural advisory, business development or financial services. As value chain actors, women typically face more obstacles than their male counterparts to access these services and benefit from the information, technologies, and practices they can acquire through such services. This gender gap hinders women’s opportunities for decent work and economic empowerment, and also jeopardizes the performance and sustainability of agrifood value chains.
Closing the gender gap and ensuring equal access to agricultural support services is a priority in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as well as in the Near East and North Africa (NENA), where FAO has made a strong commitment to promoting efficient, inclusive and sustainable agrifood value chain development, with particular attention to the inclusion and empowerment of rural women and youth.
