The project examines women’s roles while recognising the interaction between gender-based responsibilities, kinship norms, and the effects of cyclones on agricultural households’ resilience to food insecurity across Fiji, the Cook Islands, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. Using a mixed-method approach, it will incorporate focus groups, in-depth interviews, policy analysis, and GIS mapping to examine gendered contributions and challenges. One case study per country will be conducted to align with the project’s objectives. The research seeks to identify gender role differences in cyclone recovery and determine changes in the food environment as lasting or temporary by evaluating its characteristics, encompassing physical, economic, political, and sociocultural factors influencing consumer interactions, food choices, accessibility, and quality (Schönfeldt & Pretorius, 2018). The project will contribute to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by supporting gender-sensitive policies and enhancing community-centred resilience strategies for climate-related disaster preparedness and recovery. Additionally, the four countries face frequent and intense cyclonic weather shocks, making resilience-building a key policy goal. Engaging policymakers, urban planners, and local leaders through site-based dialogues during and after research ensures that findings translate into actionable measures, integrating resilience strategies into national frameworks and community training programs.
