    Abstract This gender research ethics and standards toolkit is a ‘living’ document that will provide guidance, recommendations and resources on the gender-relevant ethical considerations for research involving human subjects. The toolkit aligns with the CGIAR’s core ethical values outlined in the CGIAR Ethics Framework of (1) integrity, (2) dignity and respect, (3) sustainability, (4) excellence and innovation, and (5) partnership. This toolkit aims to support CGIAR researchers and their research partners conducting research on human subjects—whether via surveys, interviews, focus group discussions, participant observations, multistakeholder dialogues, or participatory action and learning—in accordance with the CGIAR Research Ethics Code (CGIAR System Management Office 2020).

    A Guide for Conducting Ethical Gender-Inclusive Research: The Gender Research Ethics and Standards Toolkit

    Abstract As gender-inclusive designs assume a more central place in research related to food, land, and water systems and donors now routinely require a gender-sensitive lens on research, there is a heightened demand among researchers for a comprehensive resource on the ethical considerations involved in gender research. In response to this growing demand, the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform's Methods Module team has developed a toolkit, titled "Gender Research: An Ethics and Standards Toolkit." This toolkit is aligned with the CGIAR Ethics Framework and the CGIAR Research Ethics Code and it is intended to serve as a reference guide for researchers within CGIAR and beyond. It provides guidance, recommendations, and resources on gender-relevant ethical considerations, as well as additional gender considerations regarding the ethical treatment and protection of human subjects that are applicable to different types of research. The resources and guidance in the toolkit span various stages of a project's lifetime, including project development and design, building research partnerships, project implementation and fieldwork, and data analysis, storage, and dissemination. It also includes a practical checklist for research design, data collection, and data storage. Importantly, this toolkit is designed as a "living" document which will be periodically updated to reflect new resources and include additional topics of interest.

    Abstract Women play important roles at different nodes of both agricultural and off-farm value chains, but in many countries their contributions are either underestimated or limited by prevailing societal norms or gender-specific barriers. We use primary data collected in Asia (Bangladesh, Philippines) and Africa (Benin, Malawi) to examine the relationships between women’s empowerment, gender equality, and participation in a variety of local agricultural value chains that comprise the food system. We find that the value chain and the specific node of engagement matter, as do other individual and household characteristics, but in different ways depending on country context. Entrepreneurship—often engaged in by wealthier households with greater ability to take risks—is not necessarily empowering for women; nor is household wealth, as proxied by their asset ownership. Increased involvement in the market is not necessarily correlated with greater gender equality. Education is positively correlated with higher empowerment of both men and women, but the strength of this association varies. Training and extension services are generally positively associated with empowerment but could also exacerbate the inequality in empowerment between men and women in the same household. All in all, culture and context determine whether participation in value chains—and which node of the value chain—is empowering. In designing food systems interventions, care should be taken to consider the social and cultural contexts in which these food systems operate, so that interventions do not exacerbate existing gender inequalities.

    Abstract This paper addresses women's empowerment in agriculture, innovations in its measurement, and emerging evidence. We discuss the evolution of the conceptualization and measurement of women's empowerment and gender equality since 2010. Using a gender and food systems framework and a standardized measure of women's empowerment, the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), we review the evidence on “what works” to empower women based on impact evaluations of a portfolio of 11 agricultural development projects with empowerment objectives and a scoping review of livestock interventions. We then review the evidence on associations between empowering women and societal benefits--agricultural productivity, incomes, and food security and nutrition. We conclude with recommendations for measurement and policy.

    Abstract The goat value chain (VC) plays an important role in household economics and diets throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Senegal. The resilience of goat production in unpredictable climates suggests the potential for increased importance as climate change effects become more disruptive to traditional food systems and diets. The primary research question of this study is: What is the role of goats and the goat VC for climate resilience, women's empowerment and improved nutrition in Senegal? By conducting interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with goat VC actors in urban/peri-urban, agricultural, and pastoralist areas of Senegal, this study seeks to identify potential entry points for interventions along the VC, especially for women. In June and July 2022, in collaboration with the IFPRI Gender, Climate Change and Nutrition Integration Initiative, researchers from the Institut Sénégalais de Recherche Agricole (ISRA) facilitated 12 FGDs, six with men and six with women, across two regions, Niakhar and Louga, and conducted 30 key informant interviews with various goat VC actors in the regions of Dakar, Niakhar, and Louga. Preliminary results indicate that more women are becoming engaged in goat rearing and production, becoming owners of the goats they manage and controlling the goat-related incomes. Women have developed climate resilient strategies, including storing foraging materials during winter and selling goats to purchase food during the hunger season. Supported by USAID, the findings of this study will inform future interventions that aim to enhance women's engagement in the goat VC, improve household nutrition, and increase women's empowerment.
