Advancing Gender Equality and Social Inclusion

“…FTA's approach to youth 12 is rooted in an analysis of the social relations and structures that shape rural people's capacities to lead the lives they wish to in (and often beyond) tree-based landscapes. This perspective is described in a working paper (Clendenning 2019) and a brief (Clendenning et al 2019) that provide a conceptual framework for FTA's research on youth, and in an FTA webinar on youth 13 that discusses the challenges and prospects facing rural young women and men across regional contexts. FTA inroads with rural youth are reflected in influential studies, including a cross-country comparative analysis of rural young men's and women's aspirations (Elias et al 2018c), which was cited in background papers for the International Fund for Agricultural Development's (IFAD's) 2019 Rural Development Report (White 2019) and in the report itself (IFAD 2019).…”
