Wrap up – highlights from the groups (Peter)
- 4. 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
- 5. The Global Study seeks to… understand -- from the perspective of men’s and women’s own views, understandings, and experiences -- the relationships between gender norms, agency and innovation in agriculture and NRM across a diverse set of contexts by conducting global, comparative research through case studies sharing a standardized qualitative methodology
- 6. Study objectives evidence on the relationship between gender norms, agency and agricultural innovation, identifying the gender-based constraints that need to be overcome
- 7. 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?
- 8. Opportunity structure Change in empowerment of poor women and men Agricultural and NRM technologies Individual and collective capabilities for agriculture and NRM Gender norms and institutional climate for inclusion and accountability Agenc y Innovation Change in: • Control of assets, inputs, and benefits • Food security • Health and Nutrition • Environment al integrity
- 9. What is a case? Community a reasonably well-defined single locality that the inhabitants call their village or hamlet.
- 11. Variance at the community level • Gender gaps in assets and capacities • Girls v. boys primary school completion rates • Women’s civic and political leadership • Women’s physical mobility • Economic dynamism • Extent of competition over agric./NRM resources • Infrastructure development • Market orientation • Sophistication of processing technologies • Diversity and size of local market • On and off-farm labor market • Diversification of livelihoods ….
- 12. Expected results strengthen gender expertise Gender Strategy integration of gender transforming restrictive gender norms and empowering poor rural women
- 13. When What June 2013 – the idea is born October 2013 – the idea is acted on Early 2014 – tools ready and pretested May 2014 –ToT June 2014 onwards – case studies conducted January 2015 • Workshop on Methods and Standards for Research on Gender and Agriculture, Montpellier • The CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network hosts meeting in Washington, DC with select CG gender experts to discuss design. • Patti completes the methodology guide. • Guide piloted in Mexico and Uganda • 20 CG gender researchers trained, Cali • Approximately 40 case studies carried out by various CRPs • Meeting with PIs to exchange experiences, plan how to proceed and train in data analysis, side event to the Gender Network meeting in Los Baños, the Philippines

Editor's Notes
- Montpellier, June 2013: Workshop on Methods and Standards for Research on Gender and Agriculture Washington, Dc October 2013: The CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network hosts meeting in Washington, DC with select CG gender experts to discuss design. Patti develops the study methodology.
- The study has three key concepts that are highlighted here. Standardized methodology – counterintuitive for a QUAL researcher…
- All of these research questions are about understanding causal processes, and this is very challenging. And qualitative tools are really needed for looking at these questions in meaningful ways.
- Gender norms constrain innovation in agriculture and NRM by supporting gender inequality in control over and use of productive assets & resources. This holds back development. Innovation can transform gender norms and lead to empowerment. More gender-equitable control over and use of resources leads to higher levels of poverty reduction, food security, nutrition and sustainable resource use.
- The sampling framework is guided by principles of maximum diversity sampling. The logic is that if a pattern can be uncovered in a large number of varied places then there is more confidence i) in the finding ii) that unobserved variables are less important; and iii) that similar findings likely exist beyond the research sample (Peters 1998, 36-41).
- DRAW AND EXPLAIN A 2X2 SAMPLING FRAMEWORK ON A FLIPCHART Stronger economic dynamism Weaker economic dynamism Larger gender gaps in assets & capacities Smaller gender gaps in assets & capacities
- The CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network sponsors a meeting in Washington, DC of a small group of CRP gender specialists interested in using qualitative research methods to design a global analysis of gender norms in agriculture. Patti Petesch, a World Bank consultant who designed the WB On Norms and Agency study adapts the study to CGIAR needs and requirements.
