Gender and Climate - Launch of FAO and CGIAR Training Guide

20.03.2012

The Training Guide “Gender and Climate Change Research in Agriculture and Food Security for Rural Development” is now available online. The guide was jointly developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The manual provides users with resources and participatory action research tools for collecting, analyzing and sharing gender-sensitive information about agricultural communities, households and individuals who are facing climatic changes. The guide is aimed at sensitizing users to the links between socio-economic and gender issues and promoting gender-sensitive adaptation and mitigation activities in agriculture. It has been tested by researchers in Bangladesh, Uganda, and Ghana.
