Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is not just a social issue, it’s a systemic challenge that undermines agricultural value chains.
In rural and isolated areas, GBV threatens women’s safety, limits their economic participation, and weakens food security. When women cannot work safely, entire communities lose resilience, and businesses lose productivity. Climate resilience strategies that overlook gendered risks leave communities exposed and women vulnerable.
Ending GBV is essential for building equitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient agri-food systems; and it’s not only a human rights imperative, but also central to climate adaptation and economic stability.
The good news? Solutions work. Programs like the Women’s Safety Accelerator Fund (WSAF) demonstrate that addressing GBV can enhance productivity and strengthen workforce morale and brand reputation. Safe, inclusive workplaces aren’t just good ethics, they’re smart business.

Event Details
Event Description
Dear colleagues, You are cordially invited to attend a UNEG webinar “UNEG updated Norms and Standards for Evaluation: why are they important and how will they impact work”. The event will take place on Tuesday, 18 October, from 9:30 to 10:30 am (New York time). In 2016, UNEG updated its foundational document “Norms and Standards for Evaluation,” which provides shared basic principles and best practices in managing, conducting and using evaluations. The UNEG Norms and Standards was first adopted in 2005. Since then, it has been the guiding documents for the UN evaluation community and has been greatly recognized by member states and the global evaluation community. At the webinar, Marco Segone (UNEG Chair; Director, Independent Evaluation Office, UN Women) and Andrea Cook (UNEG Vice-Chair; Director, Evaluation Office, UNFPA) will discuss the use of Norms and Standards in the past decade, why and how the document was updated, and what the enhancements are. Please register the event at http://uneg-norms-and-standards.eventbrite.com We hope that you will be able to join us at this webinar. |
The United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) is a professional network that brings together the offices responsible for evaluation in the UN system, including the specialized agencies, funds, programmes and affiliated organizations. |
