Cross-CRP gender research sites

Patti KristjansonCCAFS Research Leader/Senior Scientist, World Agroforestry Center

Gender Investors MeetingParis June 15th

Implementing in Cross-CRP sites

Proposal: Identify key cross CRP-cutting gender issues and refine existing approaches to capture them

Implement the new research jointly with other CRP’s in landscapes/basins/hubs that have been identified as CRP research sites

Take a 10-year learning approach and catalyze the use of engagement, communication and capacity strengthening strategies by all partners aimed at enhancing the likelihood of achieving outcomes (particularly gender-related ones)

Implementing in Hubs, or Gender Sentinel Sites – W. Africa

Desired ImpactsIncreased livelihood resilience, improved food security, and enhanced environmental function

Changes In PracticesOne or more of the actor groups: use high

level scenario planning; use new or enhanced farming system technologies,

seeds and adaptation strategies; diversify livelihoods and diets; use new knowledge about inputs, finance, markets to change production, consumption and marketing

systems

Changes In Knowledge Attitudes And Skills

One or more of the actor groups have better understanding and/or skills in: the benefits and

value of new technologies and crop-livestock-tree systems; diversified livelihood and nutrition

sources, ecosystem function; land, water and biodiversity management, implications of climate change and adaptation measures, community involvement; how to work in

partnership across scales and sectors in an adaptive & problem-oriented way

e.g. Mali Actor groups: NARES (IER), NGO’s (SahelEco, AMEDD, TreeAid, others), local women’s groups, local authorities

CHANGES IN KNOWLEDGE ATTITUDES AND SKILLSOne or more of the actor groups have better understanding and/or skills in: the benefits and value of new technologies and

crop/fish varieties; implications of different land use plans, the impacts of external drivers of change on water resources; community involvement in water mgment; how to work in partnership across scales and sectors in an adaptive & problem-

oriented way

CHANGES IN PRACTICESOne or more of the actor groups: use high level scenario planning; use tools and effective water governance strategies;

improve planning of water infrastructure; use new farm-level technologies, seeds and adaptation strategies; private sector involvement in the agriculture sector including information, finance, markets and inputs;

Reduce poverty, improve food security and strengthen livelihood resilience in coastal areas through improved water infrastructure , governance and

management, and more productive and diversified farm system
