This FAO, IFAD, and WFP technical note presents a Theory of Change (ToC) framework for integrating gender-transformative approaches (GTA) into food security, nutrition, and agricultural policies. The document highlights the structural barriers limiting gender equality in agrifood systems and provides practical solutions for addressing them.
        •        Key Principles of GTA: Tackling discriminatory social norms, empowering women and youth, and promoting equitable participation in food systems.
        •        Case Studies: Successful gender-transformative projects in Ecuador and Malawi demonstrate the impact of GTA strategies on food production, decision-making, and household nutrition.

The framework aims to mainstream gender equality into national policies while ensuring sustainable and inclusive food systems.
