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.

Knowledge Management for Gender and Evaluation
Ritu, I would like to extend my apologies for delay to write this blog post.
Integrating knowledge management with gender mainstreaming indicator and with M&E system has been topic of great interest. Gender focal points and KM focal point are incomplete in the absence of strong and robust monitoring and evaluation system. There is need to develop comprehensive list of indicators depending on nature of the project design, outputs, outcomes and Impact. The finalized comprehensive indicators need to be included during design of online monitoring and evaluation system.
The availability of integrated system enables KM focal point to develop knowledge products with M&E facts and figure and gender dimension. Knowledge products can highlight gender dis-aggregated data and inferences across different age groups, access to education, access to resources and so on.
Following are worth sharing documents.
- Gender in Agriculture
- Knowledge and Information Management for Gender Mainstreaming
- Gender and Knowledge Management at IFAD
- Knowledge Management Strategy on Gender as cross cutting issue
- Checklist for Gender SWOT Analysis
- Integrating Gender Equality in Monitoring and Evaluation Projects
Hope to share and learn more in 2015.
