Gender plays an important role in shaping the effectiveness of many socio-technical innovations in agriculture. Dan Gilligan discusses how rigorous impact evaluations can be used to examine the role of gender in research on CGIAR innovations. He draws on examples from the literature and presents results from IFPRI research on the role of gender in the HarvestPlus program to promote orange sweet potato in Uganda. The presentation features ideas on using rigorous impact evaluation designs to answer various research questions in gender research.
Kyle Murphy and Brindha Gopalakrishnan talk about the recent ATAI request for proposals on agricultural transformation and gender and answer questions from CGIAR researchers on ATAI research priorities, eligibility for ATAI funding, and matchmaking with the ATAI network.
