The Gendering Green Generation projects focus on reducing gender inequality as a barrier to women’s empowerment and increasing their share of the benefits generated by Green Generation-funded development projects in the province of Rehamna. Our project also investigates pathways for food system transformation that prioritize gender equity.
We aim to produce knowledge on the root causes of gender inequalities, and evidence-based recommendations formulated and communicated to policymakers. This is by identifying pathways to strengthen women’s capacities and leadership in food systems. Our work is available through, scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals, and the production of media materials.
Through our project, we aim to bring about positive outcomes, including enhancing women’s participation in the selected development projects and increasing their share of the benefits generated by these projects. We also aim to contribute to national and international agencies’ efforts to reduce gender inequalities and increase women’s participation in the planning, decision-making, and investments of Green Generation-funded projects.
Our evidence-based recommendations will support policymakers in general and the Green Generation developer strategy, in particular, to reduce gender inequality and enhance the effective participation of women in agricultural development projects.
We hope our work will inspire others to take action toward reducing gender inequality and promoting sustainable change in Morocco.
