    Objective
    Approach

    In order to be effective, Women in Development initiatives need to be based on reliable data and area- specific information on gender roles in agricultural production and other contexts. This report calls for better gender-disaggregated information on the Pacific Region, with an emphasis on Fiji, Vanuatu and Samoa. For example, agricultural production is being increasingly privatised and export-driven under the World Trade Organization General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
