Gender mainstreaming in governance and local agricultural innovation. A challenge from the agricultural sciences
Main Article Content
Abstract
Equality between women and men is an essential prerequisite for achieving true human development that effectively improves the lives and opportunities of individuals and their families. The work was based on the Participatory Diagnosis with a Gender Approach (DPEG) methodology, which was implemented in three phases: The first, based on the execution of Pilot Projects in four provinces of the country. (2007-2011); a second, where the gender approach becomes a transversal axis of the project (2013-2016), and a third (2017-2021). The work was carried out in twelve provinces and 75 municipalities in the country. For the implementation of the methodology, mainstreaming processes are carried out directed towards the gender focal points; the empowerment and leadership of the gender coordinators at the provincial and national levels and work was done on the visualization strategy of women as agents of change and the line of gender mainstreaming aimed at women and men in the productive scenarios. As a result, favorable changes are obtained in the participation of women in the definition of policies, processes and programs, through the articulation of actors such as: the FMC; MINAG and municipal governments; in the execution of budgets for capacity building actions and new economic undertakings, as well as in knowledge management processes and in the sociocultural. All of this favored the generation of new jobs, income, women's leadership and coordinated work with institutions and governments.
