Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Developing gender-sensitive value chains: a
Book SynopsisThis publication aims to facilitate the systematic integration of gender equality dimensions into value chain (VC) development programmes. It raises awareness about gender inequalities and discusses the importance of addressing these dimensions in VC development, while also building a common approach towards work on gender-sensitive VC development. Despite the many advantages of addressing social inequality, gender dimensions often remain overlooked in agricultural development programmes. VC development practitioners may find it challenging to mainstream gender within their work, either because they are unaware of the relevance of gender dynamics to VCs, or because they need technical support in translating gender equality objectives into concrete actions in the implementation of programmes. This framework, companion to the publication, Developing gender-sensitive value chains: Guidelines for practitioners, aims to respond to this gap by raising awareness, building a common approach, and providing concrete guiding principles.

Academic Foundation Forget Classroom Learning: A Practical Guide to
Book SynopsisForget Classroom Learning is differentially explaining the theory of management and describes real life from the manager’s point of view. In doing this, it offers a uniquely illustrated, practical and concrete guide to conducting your business life more positively and to becoming a better manager.It was a conventional belief that one has to learn in classroom theory, to become a manager. But, the target keeps moving; events and people do not always conform long enough to be planned and controlled. The ways and means of management, therefore, involve continual experimentation with new approaches to old and new problems. Remember the maxim: “Try it, fix it, do it”.Learning by doing is the best and the only way of gaining knowledge as classroom learning is nothing but the mental exercise of established knowledge attained through practice. But over a period of time classroom learning has become the primary means of learning due to lack of proper persuasion of knowledge through practical exposure and inadequacy of appropriate knowledge of instructors because of their sole dependency on theory and text rather than practical experience. So this book will help you to get the practical exposure through learning by doing rather than classroom learning.Trade Review“...at least two of the present publications, I have minutely gone through, thus empowered to introspect towards meaningful direction of human life.
