5. Leveraging partnerships

Strategic Directions

1. Informing country policy dialogue

WDR2012 dissemination - tailored to country context Regional and network companion reports Knowledge management and learning: PRMGE site as the “go-to” site for

information, tools and links on gender• Review and revamp guidance notes, toolkits for relevance and usefulness• Work on the launch site, navigability and attractiveness• Learning events – direct and e-learning: e.g. CAS Academy, DPL Academy,

Economist boot camp, Sector Weeks, SD Training and Accreditation Program• 2 Communities of Practice ( CoP on best practice operational experiences

managed by PRMGE, CoP on gender in SDN)

Impact on government’s policy: Female employment is on the top of the

agenda. The new Employment Strategy, features

female employment prominently. The May 2010 Prime Ministry ‘Circular on

Female Employment’ lays out provisions to ensure gender equality in the workplace, tailoring vocational training and non-formal education to the needs of women, and increasing access of working mothers to access child care services.

The Government is considering allowing for more flexible contracting of women and providing second chance learning opportunities so that women without basic skills can be productively employed.

Turkey Informing country policy dialogue


Expand the breadth & depth of country specific analysis of gender inequalities – linked to the policy dialogue & program

For every major activity and operation, two basic questions are asked:• Is gender important?• How do you know?

Support to countries:• Strategic engagement in country and regional efforts – cross support

Objective: – to understand the constraints and opportunities for

women and men in moving up the agricultural value chain by producing more crops such as grapes/raisins, almonds, and saffron.

Findings: – Women in rural areas are generally engaged in harvesting

and basic post-harvest processing at home orchards or compounds. Men are primarily engaged in production and provide market linkages by travelling to the local market to buy input supplies or sell produce.

– Social and cultural traditions are the main constraints for accessing market information.

– Opportunities for women producers are through (i) mobilization of women’s groups, (ii) development of women’s extension services, (iii) training on harvesting and post-harvest handling, (iv) use of information technology in extension and marketing outreach.

Consultations:– The report was presented at a workshop organized by the

Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock. Officials from other ministries, participated along with donor agencies, women producer groups, and women extension workers participated.
