The Compendium is a product of the Joint Programme on Gender Transformative Approaches for Food Security and Nutrition implemented by FAO, IFAD and WFP and funded by the European Union. The compendium of 15 good practices of gender transformative approaches (GTAs) includes the individual templates of the 15 good practices, provides a synthesis of the main features of the 15 GTAs presenting the core characteristics of 15 GTAs and describing the implementation arrangements, implementation cycle, the potential results of GTAs and their key success factors and challenges. It also includes ideas as to how GTAs could be taken to scale. The purpose of the Compendium is fourfold:

  1. to take stock and draw lessons from experiences from existing practices of GTAs
  2. to be a resource for agencies already working with GTAs to identify opportunities for strengthening their GTA work or to link up with complementary interventions
  3. to provide guidance on how to apply GTAs in any organization or institution working for enhanced food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture
  4. to raise awareness of and advocate for GTAs by showcasing examples of good practices or successful approaches that contribute to positive gender-related and non-gender-related changes towards food security, improved nutrition and sustainable agriculture and rural development.
