Guatemalas’ Ministry of Agriculture shows the way for a practical incorporation of gender dimensions in the implementation of the CSA regional strategy for Central America

Abstract

CCAFS’ engagement with the Central America Agricultural Council and the Council of Ministers of Women and a demand-driven process involving the Gender and Climate Change Units at the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food and other 22 organizations led to the participatory development of a Step-by-step guide on how to mainstream gender along the different phases of Climate-Smart-Agriculture programs and policies. This practical translation of CCAFS gender research will foster new actions on the ground in Guatemala and the region.
