When: 03, September, 2025 Time: 8:30 am-10:00 am WAT Location: Dakar, Senegal

Putting women at the center of agrifood transformation is an urgent imperative that aligns with global goals for gender equality, decent work, and zero hunger. This session will spotlight how gender gaps affect agrifood systems and how we can address these gaps. Discussions will focus on three main pillars, including: enhancing women’s access to productive resources and services; promoting decent work and entrepreneurship opportunities; and strengthening women’s voice in policy and governance. This session will contribute to reimagining agrifood systems as engines of opportunity—where women’s work creates wealth for all.
