Matching Grants for Productive Investments and Gender Policy Brief;No. 2 |
| description |
A key constraint to meaningful gender
inclusion in agriculture, forest and irrigation projects and
productive grants is the lack of data and evidence on
women’s roles in agricultural production. National
statistics and labor market studies typically do not account
for the contribution of rural women to farming. Women are
largely invisible because their work in small family farms
is considered part of the informal sector, they are often
labeled as ‘inactive’ and ‘underemployed’ according to
official employment definitions, and these omittances are
then picked up and repeated by development partners. A
broader discussion on the viability of small-scale producers
in participating in value chains, in improving sector
competitiveness and quality food production is needed. In
sectoral strategies, female producers do not receive much
attention either, as women’s role is often seen in
processing or in the non-farm economy. This policy brief is
based on the assessment Gender inclusion in productive
investments in the Western Balkans, which analyzed World
Bank- supported projects in Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro
that focused on building farmer and institutional capacity
for European Union pre-accession supported productive grants. |
