Gender & YouthResearch in Dryland Systems
CGIAR is a global research partnership for a food secure future
More relevant/better targeted ex ante research design by using interdisciplinary analytical tools to characterize value chains and analyze gender norms and behaviors that determine preferences/capacities to adopt innovation; identify issues and entry points; and provide feedback from impact assessments.Participatory action R4D involving rural women and youth.
VisionDryland Systems aims to promote more gender-equitable & youth-inclusive development in dry areas that enhances their wellbeing and resilience.

GFAR : To leverage the Gender in Agriculture Partnership’s (GAP) multi-stakeholder network (gender-gap.net) and benefit from synergies in R4D efforts – dissemination of findings and engaging policy-makers in evidence based advocacy at the global, regional and national levels for gender-equitable development.
YPARD: To leverage the Young Professionals in Agricultural R4D network for youth awareness campaigns, internship and Young Dryland Scientists program and local on-ground events & activities.
Africa Harvest: To build on their experiences and partner on gender and youth inclusion strategies to drive greater uptake of innovations from farms to markets and reap equitable benefits for all – higher agricultural productivity and incomes.

ImplementationThe Gender & Youth Strategy is due to be launched in November. In September 2013, the DS Steering Committee adopted a gender IDO (IDO 8) and the DS Gender Design Workshop decided to take the very innovative step of integrating gender & youth in the strategy. Being developed through a stakeholder participatory process, the emerging strategy is demand driven and ensures stakeholder ownership – an important precursor for success. In parallel, series of meetings in each of the DS’s five target regions enabled scientist teams to mainstream gender & youth issues into their research activities under the other seven IDOs.
Implementation challenges1. Rapidly expand program team capacity to effectively implement gender & youth strategy across the five target regions 2. Mainstreaming use of tools and methods developed in gender & youth IDO across all DS research activities at the 24 action sites through rigorous awareness and adequate training activities
Women and youth have better access to and control over productive assets, inputs, information, market opportunities and capture a more equitable share of increased income, food and other benefits
More resilient livelihoods (ID01)
More stable & higher income (ID02)
Better services for G&Y (ID06) + Increased
prod/income (IDO2) + Policy reforms (ID07)
Improved HH Food Security & Diversity,
especially for women & children (ID03)
Improved resilience (ID01)
Income (ID02)Policy reforms (ID07)
Changed attitudes (ID08)
More sustainable & equitable NRM (ID04) &
better functioning markets (ID05)
Better knowledge of G&Y impacts of outputs in all ID0s and of outputs in
ID08
Diagnostic tool boxSex- and age –
disaggregated data in baseline surveys
Awareness-raising & capacity building of CRP
scientists & partners
Methods for participatory action
research with partners to identify/ close gapsCapacity building of
partnersAnalyses available for
policy
Tools to identify aspirations, needs,
priorities, attitudes to risk by gender & age
Analyses for policy & R4D programs
Tools to assess likely incentives ex ante and ex
post impactsAnalyses of good practice in incentivizing women &
youth
Capacity building of women, youth &
partnersMethods to integrate women & youth and
their indigenous knowledge in land & water management
Indicators tested + available
Analyses available for policy + future R4D
Ex-ante G&Y – sensitive interdisciplinary
identification of issues, RQS & design with men,
women, youth producers improves R4D effectiveness
Closing G&Y gaps in access to agri. resources
& services vital for adoption of agri.
innovations, increased productivity & food
security
Addressing G&Y differences in needs &
priorities for agri. innovations (sale,
consumption; food security, safety, nutrition;
labor- & risk-reduction) improves R4D relevance
Gender & age differences in intra-HH control of
agri. products/ income/ labor affect incentives &
capacity to adopt
Strengthening women’s & youth leadership roles
in agri. & community orgs improves
innovation adoption along value chains & for
market
Developing better M&E indicators to quantify
G&Y impacts of innovations is critical to
identify remedial actions & future R4D priorities
