‘Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful committed citizens can
change the world; indeed, it’s the
only thing that ever has.’

Questions
How do we plan for the inevitable push back against equality for women
and associated implications for poverty reduction and human well-
being?
To achieve equality, which institutions require adjustment and which
require a complete restructure?
What are the goals for the CGIAR gender platform in 5 and 10 years
from now?
Is there anything the donor community has missed or can amplify?
