FAO, ILO and IFAD are pleased to announce the technical expert workshop on “Gaps, trends and current research in gender dimensions of agricultural and rural employment: differentiated pathways out of poverty”, which will be held in Rome in the week of 30th March–3rd April, 2009 (duration three days - exact dates to be confirmed).
