Gender in Agriculture Partnership (GAP): Rethinking needs, shaping policies, promoting resource mobilization and action, and sharing good practice to empower women in agriculture and rural development
Sep 17, 2012 | by
GAP is a multi-stakeholder network of institutions and individuals promoting gender equity and women’s empowerment in the agricultural sector in order to increase production and productivity, value-addition and increases in incomes, reduce losses and wastage, and ensure food and nutrition security, particularly at the household level. Such an approachrequires the re-conceptualization of agriculture as a vehicle for household and community well-being rather than just economic growth.
