Targeting women, youths and other vulnerable groups in agricultural research for development increases the likelihood of achieving the gender result we are seeking:

Increased control by women and other marginalized groups of assets, inputs, decision-making and benefits

As well as our food security and poverty-related outcomes!!

Gender norms must be addressed in order to achieve a healthy, food and nutrition secure world free of poverty and hunger, with sustained and regenerating natural resources

Climate Change – A Wicked Problem

Wicked problems – complex, uncertain, ever-evolving, multiplicity of stakeholders and perspectives

Need to move beyond expert approach – evaluation and advice

To consultative processes – collective understanding and response
