Global Institutions Try to Get It Right: An Insider’s Perspective

Gretchen Bloom

Chapter 7 in Women Reclaiming Sustainable Livelihoods, 2012, pp 101-106 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the following I examine from an ‘insider’s perspective’ the attempts of global institutions to overcome the obstacles to championing women’s rights and gender equality in particular around women’s role in agriculture. My chapter is part of an ongoing strategic dialogue between ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ to try to change institutions to ensure that women, who play a major role in agriculture, have equal access to resources. From my position as an insider, I look at ways in which I see institutions aim to engage and ensure women’s participation in agricultural development and food security largely through the strategy of gender mainstreaming.
