Investments include:
13. 1. How has the gender platform influenced the CGIAR system
and CRPs; are there commonalities in goals and how
impacts are documented? What are the top cross-cutting
gender hypotheses?
2. How does this gender platform influence the platforms for
Excellence in Breeding and Big Data, and vice versa?
3. Could this platform serve as a global clearing-house for the
science of gender in agriculture? What would you need?
4. Together, what is your impact respectively for (a)
empowering women in agriculture; (b) closing gender data
and evidence gaps; and (c) strengthening CRP and Center
outcomes?

A few questions:
Editor's Notes
2013:
Women, Girls and Gender Initiative baseline survey - Interviews conducted across the foundation with then all 26 teams to understand how they were thinking of women and girls and gender. A baseline report that was presented to Melinda of how the foundation was currently thinking, investing and measuring their work in this area.
2014:
Data2X grant awarded - The foundation’s first investment in Data2X through DPAF, Jenny Lah was PO
Gender integration primer – an impetus of deep dive work
Women, Girls and Gender Initiative Evidence Report: We did an evidence report that answered the question that Melinda posed to us after reading the baseline survey results, which was “Does being more intentional about addressing gender inequalities lead to better outcomes in the areas where we’ve already invested?” So we worked the Iris Group to do a evidence review for FP, MNCH, Nutrition, Agriculture, WSH, FSP and education. This served as the basis for the Science article.
Women, Girls and Gender Initiative Benchmarking report: The benchmarking report was an analysis of how external organizations addressed gender within their organizations. We interviewed a select number of partners and wrote up a report that was shared with Leadership at the foundation.
Portfolio analysis of FP, MNCH, and Nutrition: In the very early days of the A+ group when Gary Darmstadt was still the sponsor they commissioned a report by Cultural Practice to do a portfolio review of FP, MNCH and Nutrition to see how “gendered” their portfolios were.
2015:
A+ Grant in Ethiopia (Abdibora): pooled funding of A+ teams. Multi-sectoral grant, 5 years + grant focused on young adolescents (10-14 years) and norms. Jason Wolfe is the PO.
No Ceilings Report funded through DPAF. Jenny Lah was PO.
