The report on Gender Scoping to Enhance Development in Responsible Agriculture Investment is funded by FAO and AsiaDHRRA through CamboDHRRA. The study aims to contribute to strengthening innovations, identifying strategic policy options and program actions, and improving understanding of the development narratives of gender and youth in the context of smallholder farmers and communities and rural agriculture investments.
\nThis study project intends to do:
\n1. Generate an understanding of gender and youth policies, programs, and services in Cambodia, their successes and shortcomings, and how to have these interact or promote inclusive rural development;
\n2. Establish knowledge and examine CamboDHRRA\u2019s gender and youth actions, initiatives, and final report for printing DHRRA RAI Gender Studykills; and
\n3. Identify strategies and concrete recommendations on CamboDHRRA\u2019s gender and youth mainstreaming work and actions in RAI.
\nThe study is qualitative in nature. One FGD and two in-depth interviews were done with partner NGOs and FOs working on gender-related agricultural projects. The secondary literature review was applied to get a comprehensive understanding of the gender issues in Cambodia.
\nThe study found women are more active than men counterparts in the agricultural sector. Even children care is their main tasks, agriculture and income generation from agribusinesses were observed to have the presence of women. However, women get lower-paid or non \u2013 paid for their housework. They also have lower education and skills in using machine technology in their farms compared to men. This creates bias among men and women in agriculture and leads women to use primitive tools for their agriculture work.<\/p>\n
