This document discusses establishing a cross-cutting platform on gender and climate-smart agriculture (CSA) within the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). It notes that women comprise the majority of agricultural workers in developing countries but face barriers to resources and inputs. Closing the gender gap could increase yields and outputs. The platform aims to provide a forum for information exchange and collaboration on gender and CSA research across CGIAR centers and programs, and ensure gender and CSA findings influence climate policy. It will support specialists, collaboration, and highlight research at policy events. A webpage on the CGIAR Gender Platform will share tools, events, and facilitate networking among gender and CSA researchers.
