The FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific and the UNDP Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific will host a webinar titled “International Women’s Day 2026: Regional Dialogue to Mark the International Year of the Woman Farmer.”
The event will spotlight women farmers’ experiences, highlight good practices, and explore entry points for progress. Drawing on insights from country offices and regional partners, the dialogue aims to strengthen collaboration and mobilize momentum for the International Year of the Woman Farmer across Asia and the Pacific.
The dialogue will provide a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, awareness‑raising, and partnership‑building, with the following objectives:
- Showcase promising practices and innovations by highlighting gender‑responsive and gender‑transformative approaches that have reduced inequalities and strengthened women farmers’ agency, leadership, and economic opportunities.
- Facilitate multi‑stakeholder dialogue by engaging government institutions, UN agencies, civil society, and private‑sector partners to identify common priorities and regional entry points for advancing gender equality in agrifood systems.
- Contribute to coordinated regional action for IYWF 2026 by fostering a shared understanding of opportunities, needs, and collaboration pathways to strengthen regional engagement in the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
Join us to explore how we can create a more inclusive and empowering future for all women farmers!
