Global Food 50/50 (GF5050) is a partnership between Global Health 50/50 (GH5050), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and UN Women. The initiative monitors progress and holds food system organizations accountable for achieving intersectional gender equality in leadership, adopting gender-equitable internal workplace policies, and implementing strategies that advance progress toward gender-just and equitable food systems.
