Strategic Framework 2010-2019 which defines gender equiality as one of the Organization's key objectives for the next 10 years.

Under FAO's Organizational Result K2 - Governments develop enhanced capacities to incorporate gender and social equality issues in agriculture, food security and rural development programmes, projects and policies using sex-disaggregated statistics, other relevant information and resources: Strategy for Capacity Development of Member Countries on Gender Mainstreaming in Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Nutrition Security, including on Land Tenure Security and in the generation of Sex-Disaggregated Data

Under FAO's Organizational Result K4 - FAO Management and staff have demonstrated commitment and capacity to address gender dimensions in their work: Strategy for Capacity Development of FAO staff on Gender Mainstreaming in Agriculture, Rural Development, Food Security and Nutrition

The purpose of this policy document is to provide FAO with a framework to guide its efforts to achieve gender equality in all its technical work and to assess results, and calls on the whole organization to contribute to these efforts. This policy specifies FAO's goal and objectives related to gender equality, and delineates an accountability structure to ensure policy oversight, and achievement of results (Annex A). This includes specifying roles and responsibilities for coordinating and supporting the implementation of the policy (Annex B). A separate human resource action plan addressing gender parity issues in FAO has been developed for 2010-2013 and a gender policy for human resources is planned for the longer term.

Policy / strategy on gender mainstreaming

In 2007 WMO developed the Policy on Gender Mainstreaming which aims at promoting, encouraging and facilitating gender equality across WMO and to establish a mechanism by which progress can be measured. The policy was promoted among constituencies and approved, in its final form, by Sixteenth World Meteorological Congress in 2011. Most of WMO constituent bodies have established gender focal points and considered gender mainstreaming as a standing item in the agenda of their intergovernmental sessions. The WMO Executive Council oversees the implementation of the policy, and since 2007 it has established a special Advisory Panel of Experts on Gender Mainstreaming.
