note: Gender mainstreaming in FAO involves ensuring that attention to gender equality is a central part of all agricultural and rural development interventions, including analyses, policy advice, advocacy, legislation, research, and the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes and projects. Gender mainstreaming has been defined by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Agreed Conclusions, 1997/2 of 18 July 1997, as "a strategy for making women's, as well as men's, concerns and experiences an integral dimension in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and social spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality"
note: L'intégration des questions de parité hommes-femmes à la FAO vise à assurer que l'attention accordée à l'égalité entre hommes et femmes constitue un élément central des interventions en matière de développement agricole et rural, y compris en ce qui concerne les analyses, les conseils en matière de politique, la promotion des droits, la législation, la recherche, ainsi que la planification, la mise en oeuvre, le suivi et l'évaluation de programmes et des projets. La prise en compte des questions de parité hommes-femmes a été définie en ces termes par le Conseil économique et social dans ses conclusions concertées, adoptées le 18 juillet 1997 (1997/2): "stratégie visant à incorporer les préoccupations et les expériences des femmes aussi bien que celles des hommes dans l'élaboration, la mise en oeuvre, la surveillance et l'évaluation des politiques et des programmes dans tous les domaines - politique, économique et social - de manière que les femmes et les hommes bénéficient d'avantages égaux et que l'inégalité ne puisse se perpétuer. Le but ultime est d'atteindre l'égalité entre les sexes". @fr

La incorporación de las cuestiones de género ha sido definida por el Consejo Económico y Social en sus Conclusiones Convenidas, 1997/2 de 18 de julio de 1997, como "una estrategia destinada a hacer que las preocupaciones y experiencias de las mujeres, así como de los hombres, sean un elemento integrante de la elaboración, la aplicación, la supervisión y la evaluación de las políticas y los programas en todas las esferas políticas, económicas y sociales, a fin de que las mujeres y los hombres se beneficien por igual y se impida que se perpetúe la desigualdad.

definition: (riego por goteo),
note: the irrigation nozzle-lines, close to the crop rows, distribute water either through sheaths, porous or perforated, or plastic pipes of small diameter and thickness, fitted with outlet parts called micro-irrigation distributors. The service pressure is generally of the order of 1 bar, sometimes less. Micro-irrigation is also called 'localised irrigation' because of the localisation of the delivery of water in the vicinity of the plants. The space between rows remains dry, at least when they are sufficiently wide (case of orchards), that limits the growth of casual weeds, avoids the compaction of the soil and allows maintenance work even during irrigation. This method includes various systems according to the unit discharge of the distributors and the method of application to the soil.
note: Les rampes d'arrosage, proches des rangées de culture, répartissent l'eau soit par des gaines, poreuses ou perforées, soit par des tuyaux plastiques de diamètre et d'épaisseur réduits, équipés d'organes de sortie appelés distributeurs de micro-irrigation. La pression de service est généralement de l'ordre de 1 bar, parfois moins. La micro-irrigation est également appelée 'irrigation localisée', du fait de la localisation des apports d'eau au voisinage des plantes. Les interlignes restent secs, du moins quand ils sont suffisamment larges (cas des vergers), ce qui limite la croissance des adventices, évite le compactage du sol et permet les travaux d'entretien même en cours d'arrosage. Cette méthode comprend divers systèmes suivant le débit unitaire des distributeurs, et le mode de répartition au sol. @fr

value: (drip irrigation, dribble irrigation, trickle irrigation) A method of irrigation when water is applied not to the land but to the plants in the root zone, in small but frequent quantities, in such a way as to maintain the most active part of the soil at a quasi-optimum moisture. In its simplest form, it is an irrigation method using a system of perforated plastic pipes laid along the ground at the base of a row of plants (= trickle irrigation). In its more advanced form, it is a micro-irrigation system in which water flow is very low, generally less than 8 litres/h and without pressure, i.e. drop by drop. The water emerging infiltrates directly into the soil where it wets a volume of soil called bulb.

value: Usually the urban area is defined and the residual from the total population is taken as rural. In practice, the criteria adopted for distinguishing between urban and rural areas vary among countries. However, these criteria can be roughly divided into three major groups: classification of localities of a certain size as urban; classification of administrative centres of minor civil divisions as urban; and classification of centres of minor civil divisions on a chosen criterion which may include type of local government, number of inhabitants or proportion of population engaged in agriculture. Thus, the urban and rural population estimates in this domain are based on the varying national definitions of urban areas.

note: Within the UN system, gender analysis has been established as a basic requirement for the mainstreaming strategy. The current situation of rural women and men in relation to different issues/problems and the impact of agricultural and rural development policies, legislation, and projects and programmes on women and men respectively - and on the relations between them - should be analysed before any decisions are made. Gender analysis should go beyond cataloguing differences to identifying inequalities and assessing relationships between women and men. Gender analysis helps us to frame questions about women and men's roles and relations in order to avoid making assumptions about who does what, when and why. The aim of such analysis is to formulate development interventions that are better targeted to meet both women's and men's needs and constraints.
note: Au sein du système des Nations unies, l'analyse des questions de parité hommes-femmes a été érigée en paramètre essentiel de la stratégie d'intégration des questions de parité hommes-femmes. Il convient donc, avant de prendre quelque décision que ce soit, de procéder à une analyse de la situation des femmes et des hommes ruraux sous l'angle des différents problèmes ainsi qu'à l'impact des politiques, de la législation ainsi que des projets et des programmes de développement agricole et rural sur les femmes et sur les hommes respectivement, de même que sur leurs relations. L'analyse des questions de parité hommes-femmes doit aller au-delà du catalogage des différences, pour identifier les inégalités en analysant les relations entre les femmes et les hommes. L'analyse des questions de parité hommes-femmes nous aide à formuler des questions pertinentes à propos des rôles des femmes et des hommes et des rapports entre eux, de manière à éviter les hypothèses infondées à propos de la répartition des rôles et des modalités d'exécution de ceux-ci. L'objet d'une telle analyse est de cerner, dans le domaine de développement, des interventions bien ciblées afin de répondre aux besoins et de tenir compte des contraintes des femmes et des hommes. @fr
note: El análisis basado en el género es un instrumento destinado a ayudar a reforzar la planificación, ejecución, seguimiento y evaluación del desarrollo; y a que los programas y proyectos sean más eficientes y pertinentes. La ignorancia de las cuestiones relacionadas con el género y las estrategias de desarrollo resultantes que ignoran esta cuestión ha motivado que muchos programas y proyectos de desarrollo no alcancen sus metas principales así como los beneficios deseados a favor de la población destinataria y han tenido algunas veces repercusiones negativas no deliberadas. Y son quienes realmente deben participar en actividades que tienen por objeto abordar un programa o proyecto. En el sistema de las Naciones Unidas, el análisis basado en el género se ha establecido como un requisito básico para la estrategia de la incorporación. La situación actual de las mujeres y los hombres de las zonas rurales en relación con diferentes cuestiones/problemas y la repercusión de las políticas, la legislación, y los proyectos y programas de desarrollo agrícola y rural sobre las mujeres y los hombres, respectivamente -y sobre las relaciones entre ellos- deben analizarse antes de que se adopte cualquier decisión. El análisis basado en el género debe ir más allá de la clasificación de las diferencias para determinar las desigualdades y evaluar las relaciones entre las mujeres y los hombres. Este análisis nos ayuda a formular preguntas acerca de las funciones y relaciones de las mujeres y los hombres con el fin de evitar partir de suposiciones acerca de quién hace qué, cuándo y por qué. El objetivo de este análisis es formular intervenciones de desarrollo elegidas para atender a las necesidades y limitaciones de las mujeres y los hombres. @es

value: Floodwater harvesting (often referred to as spate irrigation or waterspreading) collects or diverts channel flow from seasonal streams and watercourses with a complex structure of dams, ditches and distribution systems. These systems are characterised by a very large catchment upstream (200 ha 50 Km2) and the catchment area: cultivated area ratio is comprised between 100:1 and 10000: 1. They are used for erosion control and the irrigation of crops, trees and grasses. In the case of unconfined aquifer, floodwater harvesting may contribute significantly to groundwater recharge.

editorial note: Cereals/nArea and production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed or silage or used for grazing are therefore excluded. Area data relate to harvested area. Some countries report sown or cultivated area only; however, in these countries the sown or cultivated area does not differ significantly in normal years from the area actually harvested, either because practically the whole area sown is harvested or because the area surveys are conducted around the harvest period.

editorial note: Terres arables versus Terres cultivées: la définition officielle de terres arables est: "terres affectées aux cultures temporaires, prairies temporaires à faucher ou à pâturer, jardins maraîchers ou potagers et terres en jachère temporaire". Cette définition tend à assimiler les terres arables aux superficies cultivées. Dans cette étude, le terme "superficies cultivées" a été préféré à "terres arables" t se référe aux superficies physiques réellement cultivées avec des cultures annuelles ou permanentes. Cependant, il est fréquemment difficile de comprendre comment les doubles ou triples cultures et les cultures intercalaires sont prises en compte dans la littérature. @fr

value: A water harvesting method used in small fields on gentle slopes. A moulding of the land surface enables the creation on very small slopes of an artificial micro-relief in each small field. Here the runoff water from the upper portion (runoff area) becomes concentrated in the lower portion (crop area) where the crops are raised, and which are sometimes reduced to a single tree (Negarin method).

value: A micro-basin is a small earth basin with a nearly flat bottom surrounded by low bunds. These bunds are constructed to prevent lateral flow to adjacent fields. Micro-basins are commonly used for rice irrigation on flat lands or in terraces on hillsides. Trees can also be grown in micro-basins, with one tree in the middle of each micro-basin.

note: Some countries refer to ultimate irrigation potential as the maximum that could be irrigated with the given water and soil context, or of intermediate irrigation potential when considering economic or environmental constraints. It can be called "command Area" when referring to the area that can be irrigated thanks to water development such as dams.
note: Les études nationales/régionales utilisent différentes méthodes pour évaluer cette valeur (ex.: peuvent tenir compte uniquement des ressources en sols, ou des ressources en sols plus leau disponible, et comprendre ou non les aspects économiques ou écologiques...)./n @fr
editorial note: Assumptions made in assessing irrigation potential vary from country to country. In most cases it is computed on the basis of available land and water resources, but economic and environmental considerations may also have been taken into account. Some countries include the possible use of non-conventional sources of water for irrigation. Except in a few cases, no consideration is given to the possible double counting of shared water resources. Wetland and flood plains are usually, but not systematically included in irrigation potential.

value: Spate irrigation can also be referred to as floodwater harvesting. It is a method of random irrigation using the floodwaters of a normally dry system. It is practised by building earthen diversion banks across a dry watercourse. The floods - or spates- are diverted into embanked fields, where the water is pounded until total infiltration. These systems are in general characterised by very large upstream watershed and have an important catchment area: cultivated area ratio.

note: The focus here is on land drainage from agricultural land but there are two other primary type of drainage systems : urban drainage and highway drainage.
note: Ici laccent est mis sur le drainage des terres agricoles mais il existe deux autres types importants de systèmes de drainage: le drainage urbain et le drainage routier. @fr
editorial note: Drainage functions are : 1) surface drains evacuate rainfall excess, receiving mostly overland flow ; 2) control groundwater table depth and to leach salts from the rootzone ; 3) collector drains that collects water from fiels drains and convey it to the main drain ; 4) main drain transports the drainwater to the system outlet or disposal sites.
editorial note: Le drainage a pour objectif: 1) dévacuer lexcès deau de pluie par les drains de surface qui recueillent essentiellement lécoulement de surface. 2) de contrôler la profondeur de la nappe et de lessiver les sels dans la rhizosphère; 3) de transporter leau récupérée dans les drains secondaires jusquau collecteur; 4) de transporter leau des collecteurs jusqu'à lexutoire du système ou au site dévacuation. @fr

value: The natural or artificial removal of surplus ground- and surface water and dissolved salt from the land in order to enhance agriculture production. In the case of natural drainage the excess waters flows from the fields to lakes, swamps, streams and rivers. In an artificial system surplus ground or surface water is removed by means of sub surface or surface conduits.

note: Water harvesting (runoff farming) enables to achieve economic agricultural production in areas where the annual rainfall is too low (less than 300 mm) to support continuous cropping with a reasonable economic value. It also extends the agro-ecological zone for implementation of soil (incl. conservation tillage) and crop management where these technologies would otherwise have nearly no impact due to insufficient rainfall

value: When the collected runoff water is directly applied to the cropped area during the rainfall event, the system does not use long-term storage. The soil profile serves as a water reservoir and the method of irrigation is called runoff farming. As described by M. Finkle and al. (1995), runoff farming is a form of wild flooding irrigation where the rain is intense enough to cause runoff, the fields are flooded and storage depends on the water holding capacity of the soils.
