Project Name:  “Towards more gender-responsive policies and budgets for agriculture and rural development"

The project "Towards more gender-responsive policies and budgets for agriculture and rural development" aims to enhance the development and planning of agricultural and rural development policies in North Macedonia. The overall goal of the project is to support the future planning and development of agricultural and rural development policy and to contribute to an improved gender responsive policy making process for long-term women’s empowerment in agriculture. The project has identified three key outputs. By providing government officials and policymakers with evidence-based research, output 1 facilitates informed decision-making processes, ensuring that gender-responsive policy measures and budgets are integrated into national programs for agriculture and rural development. output 2 focuses on capacity-building efforts, equipping officials and policymakers with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively mainstream gender considerations and GRB within agricultural policies and programs. Finally, output 3 targets the empowerment of women in agriculture and rural areas by enhancing their abilities to access and benefit from policy measures that offer support and assistance in agricultural activities.
