In support of the country’s efforts towards rural revitalization, UN Women forged a partnership with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Hunan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in Hunan province, through a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding for a large-scale programme the “Hunan Rural Revitalization Demonstration” programme that aims to support rural women and men in 10 pilot counties in Hunan Province to build up their climate resilience through climate-proofed infrastructure construction, climate-smart agriculture skills development, and extended livelihood opportunities. The programme will directly reach 320,000 persons, over 30 per cent of who are minority populations and 50 per cent are diverse women. 

UN Women is a lead technical partner for supporting gender mainstreaming in the programme. In 2021, in addition to the establishment of partnership, as a result of UN Women’s advocacy and technical support, a Gender Action Plan has been developed, with an aim for enhancing the gender responsiveness of the programme interventions, at a total cost of USD 173 million. The Gender Action Plan has been integrated into the Project Management Manual for local government partners for guiding implementation at 10 pilot counties in Hunan from 2022 to 2026.
