Gender mainstreaming in water management: a key to food security and poverty alleviation

Hamdy A., Trisorio-Liuzzi G., Sagardoy J.A., Quagliariello R.

Women's participation has received considerable rethoric, but there has been less careful paid attention to the difference between women's and men's needs and priorities with regard to resource use and the barriers women face in achieving control over resources. Here comes again the important role gender mainstreaming could play in natural resources management: land and water, providing the men's and women's needs of both to fulfil the food shortage gap. This is the way to help the poor to build self-reliant households and communities by producing their food to feed themselves, instead of eradicating hunger and poverty through food aid assistance programs.
