By the end of 2020, AgriProFocus will transform into the Netherlands Food Partnership. In December, the 12 country networks came together for their closing events.

AgriProFocus was established in 2005 as a multi-stakeholder initiative to promote agriculture in Dutch development policy and to organise a network approach to link and learn between stakeholders. In its origin, AgriProFocus was a Netherlands-based initiative bringing together organisations working to enhance the role and plight of organised producers in developing countries.

Click to view Gender Analysis and Integration in Agriculture Course
In Africa, close to 70% of the population rely on agriculture as a source of their livelihoods. The sector contributes up to 23% to the GDP in most of the African countries and hence remains critical to local and regional economies. It is the basis for food security and an important source of employment, particularly for women who provide much of labor. Despite the women contribution to the sector, their participation is limited by factors including inequitable access to agricultural inputs, including family labour, high-yield crops, pesticides, and fertilizer, legal and cultural status, exclusion from alternative employment options and inheritance laws. In the spirit of achieving the aspiration of vision 2030 of leaving no one behind and particularly women, there is need to understand through gender analysis the extent to which women are included in the agricultural sector.
