Show how your research helps both women and men - and get funding for your project!
CIMMYT’s work focuses on reducing poverty and hunger by sustainably increasing the productivity of maize- and wheat-based farming systems. Of the poor who depend on maize and wheat for their livelihoods and food security, more than half are women and girls. Our research could and should benefit both women and men. However, this does not happen automatically and requires special attention. Careful integration of a gender perspective in the research process is a means to ensure that maize- and wheat- research for-development leads to sustainable intensification of maize- and wheat based systems and socially equitable advances in human wellbeing. This tool for integration of gender in proposal development is useful for scientists or research teams that are involved in the writing of concept notes and proposals. Reading and applying the document is an initial step in designing your project so that your work has a higher probability of having an impact on different types of poor people including both women and men. In addition, many donors put a high priority on the integration of gender in project design and implementation, and demonstrating appropriate attention to gender issues will increase your chances of obtaining a grant.
