The KUD, which is also part of the ninth anniversary of PCAF, highlighted the gender analysis study which looked into the role of women in the rice supply chain and reviewed GAD-related programs and performance as it aims to contribute to enhancing GAD plans, budgeting, and utilization of rice related agencies. Rice Watch Action Network Executive Director and National Banner Program Committee on Rice Chairperson Hazel Tanchuling presented the results of the study. It focused on the aspirations of women rice farmers relating to their various spheres, like family, community, organization, and the rice industry itself.The study identified urgent gender issues such as the need for more focus on women farmers belonging to indigenous groups, the need to promote comprehensive gender-sensitive policies, services, and programs and the importance of women’s participation and leadership in policy making. Dir. Tanchuling also emphasized the importance of studies like the gender analysis of the rice supply chain and advocacies in improving policies and programs in the agriculture sector. According to her, gender analysis tools could help in identifying existing gender gaps that plague the agriculture sector. GAD Focal Persons of the OneDA family, members of the national and regional Agricultural and Fishery Councils, and various PCAF employees attended the KUD. PCAF has been conducting KUDs regularly to institutionalize a learning culture within and among PCAF staff and stakeholders.Visit www.pcaf.da.gov.ph for more stories.Text and screenshot by Sergio Manuel Arguilla ...
