Background to study
• Innovation in agriculture and NRM is critical to reducing rural poverty.
• But innovation that ignores gender inequality is limited in its impact and risks worsening the poverty, workload and wellbeing of poor rural women and their families
• To design and scale out agricultural innovations that deliver benefits to both poor women and men, we need to understand gender norms that impact on their ability to benefit from new technologies
understand -- from the perspective of men’s and women’s own views, understandings, and experiences -- the relationships between gender norms, agency andinnovation in agriculture and NRM across a diverse set
of contexts
by
conducting global, comparative research through case studies sharing a standardized qualitative
methodology
The Global Study seeks to…
Study objectivesevidence on the relationship
between gender norms, agency and agricultural innovation,
identifying the gender-based constraints that need to be overcome
Main study questions:
•How do gender norms and agency advance or impede ag/NRM innovation?
•How do ag/NRM innovations affect gender norms and agency? • Under what conditions can they do harm to women?
•How are gender norms and men’s and women’s agency changing? • And under what conditions do these changes catalyze innovation and
lead to desired development outcomes? What contextual factors influence this relationship?
