IFPRI is participating in the 49th Session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Organized shortly after the United Nations Food Systems Summit, CFS 49 will focus on the 2021 State of Food Security and Nutrition report, uptake of the CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition, CFS Mutli-Year Programme of Work and other ongoing CFS workstreams and priorities.

Women farmers and indigenous women have been uniquely affected by the dual crises of climate change and COVID-19. They play important roles across the food system and often carry the double burden of both domestic and productive responsibilities.

This side event will focus on advancing gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment as it is critical to achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Vision of the Committee of World Food Security (CFS) of ending hunger and ensuring food security and nutrition for all.
