Commit to Grow Equality: Global commitment to enhance gender equality in agrifood systems through financing and partnerships

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Commit to Grow Equality (CGE) is a global process launched by FAO and a diverse group of partners to accelerate gender equality and women’s empowerment in agrifood systems through financing, investments and partnerships. The objective is to unite key stakeholders to commit to make agrifood systems work better for women, their communities, and the planet by 2030. In particular, CGE aims to contribute to the achievement of SDGs 1, 2 and 5. CGE will enable a diverse range of actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to report against a strategic set of commitments specifically linked to agrifood systems. Through their new and newly aligned commitment(s) to various dimensions of the CGE Commitments Matrix, these actors are agreeing to take specific action(s) to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment within their own domains. The matrix offers the opportunity to identify areas for enhanced impact, align and complement action, increase transparency and learning, and remind all actors of their commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment.
