Welcome to the GFAR Update!

Last month GFAR Secretariat put the spotlight on Partner in GFAR EcoAgriculture Partners, to shed light on how investment in landscapes can help to better track progress in innovating agri-food systems, towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Read more below!

GFAR's Gender in Agriculture Partnership (GAP) teamed up with the Joint Programme on “Accelerating Progress towards the Economic Empowerment of Rural Women” (JP RWEE) to share news and updates and provide a platform for discussion on issues of women's empowerment. RWEE has already benefited over 30,000 women and 150,000 household members in the seven countries. Find out how RWEE contributed this month to a discussion on innovative ways to empower women in the changing world of work, at CSW62!
