The “Making Food Systems Work for Women and Girls Coalition for Action” or Gender Coalition brings forward the work of the UN Food Systems Summit 2021 (UNFSS) Gender Lever and cluster working groups to foster the implementation of gender and food systems actions in National Food Systems Transformation Pathways, recognizing that gender equality and women’s empowerment are central to the transition towards just, sustainable, and resilient agrifood systems. The goal of the Gender Coalition is to foster sharing and exchanging knowledge, build a community of practice, advocate and raise awareness, and support the implementation of gender and food systems actions in National Food Systems Transformation Pathways developed by countries. FAO has been leading the coordination of the Gender Coalition since its establishment in 2021.
