EQUALITY

CGIAR's Dryland Systems aims to promote gender-equitable and youth-inclusive development in dryland areas. It will use participatory action research involving women and youth to better understand value chains and social norms. This will help design relevant research and identify entry points for innovation adoption. The gender and youth strategy was adopted in 2013 and will mainstream these issues across Dryland Systems' research. Key challenges are expanding capacity for implementation across five regions and ensuring gender and youth tools are used in all activities. Partnerships with organizations working on gender, youth, and dryland issues will help leverage networks, capacities, and uptake of innovations.

Gender and a food secure future: What do we need to know? What do we need to do?

1) Closing the gender gap in agriculture and food systems can reduce rural poverty, increase food security, improve nutrition and health, and enable more sustainable natural resource management. 2) However, interventions must consider heterogeneity as effects vary based on other aspects of people's lives like location. A cash transfer program in Brazil increased women's decision making in urban but not rural households. 3) More knowledge is still needed on barriers facing women in areas like mobility, job choice, and work burdens in order to design effective policies and programs. The CGIAR is working to better understand these issues to close gender knowledge gaps.

Gender research in Dryland Cereals

The Dryland Cereals Gender Strategy was prepared and is under review. Three consultants have begun pilot studies for gender-disaggregated baseline data across crops in Asia and Africa, and one more consultant will begin studying a third crop in Africa. Full-time gender research scientists are being hired. The strategy aims to collect gender-disaggregated data, create market opportunities for women through new crop varieties, increase benefits for women and children, and improve women's access to inputs and information.

Gender research in Policies, Markets and Institutions

PIM's gender strategy aims to diminish gender gaps in access to assets and agricultural opportunities to improve development outcomes. The strategy is implemented across PIM's seven research flagships and benefits from a strong gender team led by IFPRI. Two key challenges are the scarcity of sex-disaggregated data and the lack of methods to characterize gender impacts in modeling. PIM is addressing these by taking inventory of existing data and working with agencies to develop new surveys, and by improving methodology to assess gender impacts of new technologies in foresight modeling. The vision is for research that assesses technologies benefiting women, measures women's empowerment regularly, and improves information on gender and land rights to provide better access and opportunities for women through value chains

This document summarizes agricultural extension policy in Sub-Saharan Africa. It finds that most countries lack formalized extension policies. Where policies do exist, they take the form of provisional policies or decrees rather than legislated policies passed by parliament. The document reviews extension models and policies in various countries, finding inconsistencies in coverage and goals due to a lack of comprehensive policy. It outlines the typical process for formulating extension policy and recommends countries adopt legislated policies to make extension services more effective for food security and rural development.

Dr Lendy Spires

The Catalyzing Equitable Development (CED) Program responded to two questions that are key to gender equality and effective development. First, can organizations effectively integrate gender in their programs and operations? And second, to the extent they can, does gender integration enhance development outcomes? The CED program demonstrated that the answer to both of these questions is a strong “yes.” InterAction’s Commission on the Advancement of Women (CAW) implemented this program from January 2003-September 2006. The aim of the program was to institutionalize a gender perspective in the work of development and humanitarian assistance PVOs and NGOs as a necessary means to improve living conditions for poor communities in Africa and Asia. The program focused on building the capacity of PVOs and NGOs through training and technical assistance in Inter-Action’s Gender Audit Organizational Self Assessment and Action Planning methodology. These organizations are major contributors to global development, collectively implementing about 40% of US government funded development assistance as well as administering over $7 billion annually in assistance from private sources and in-kind contributions. The program targeted the very way PVOs and NGOs do their work and enhanced the effectiveness of their field programs by reducing gender inequalities and promoting women’s and girls’ full participation throughout their operations. However, the program did not stop at capacity building, but assessed the impact of capacity building at the field level. A unique feature of the program was a study on the impact of gender mainstreaming in four African countries, one of the few such impact studies that has been carried out globally by donors, governments, or the United Nations. In addition, the program documented innovative practices in gender integration from the Asia-Pacific region and drew out lessons learned to guide other planners and practitioners. Major accomplishments of the program are: 287 individuals and approximately 173 organizations (or country offices) participated in eight Gender Audit Courses and seven Gender Audit Workshops in the US and overseas. The Courses were offered in the U.S., Ghana, Kenya, and the Philippines. The workshops were offered in New York, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Gender indicators and sex disaggregated data

navaneetarath

Collecting and analyzing sex-disaggregated data is important for integrating gender in research and policy. It allows researchers to identify quantitative differences between women and men in areas like health status, education levels, employment and income. Without sex-disaggregated data, the unique needs of different gender groups may be overlooked. National and international organizations have recognized the importance of gender indicators and statistics since the 1970s. Proper methods are needed to ensure sex-disaggregated data is collected and analyzed accurately and addresses the experiences of both women and men.

African Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)

This document summarizes evidence from 35 studies on the impacts of 25 social safety net programs in 17 African countries on gender equality and women's empowerment. The studies show that social safety nets have the potential to improve women's wellbeing in domains like economic outcomes, empowerment, psychological wellbeing, and reducing gender-based violence. However, the impacts are not guaranteed and depend on program design features that the existing evidence does little to untangle. Significant gaps remain in understanding what design features drive impacts, measuring key outcomes at the individual level, conducting true gender analyses, and addressing region-specific contexts. Filling these evidence gaps is critical to strengthening social safety nets' contributions to gender equality in Africa.

The document describes the development and testing of the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) to measure women's empowerment and inclusion in the agricultural sector. The WEAI measures empowerment across five domains and compares women's empowerment to men in their households. Pilots of the WEAI were conducted in Bangladesh, Guatemala, and Uganda with around 350 households surveyed in each country. The results showed varying levels of women's empowerment across domains and countries. Further research on the WEAI aims to help identify how to increase women's empowerment and evaluate development programs' impacts on women.

The informal sector consists of workers that are not included in official employment or tax records. These workers lack social protections like healthcare, education, and income security. The document proposes educating informal workers about available social schemes and increasing enrollment. It suggests establishing a network of NGOs, professionals, and students to conduct outreach at local levels. The goal is to improve access to social welfare programs and raise awareness of rights to help vulnerable populations. Challenges include a lack of monitoring, confusion over numerous programs, and inadequate political will.

Primary education in India aims to improve morality and provide a strong foundation for students' development. However, many children are performing below expected levels due to inadequate infrastructure, teacher shortages, and lack of institutional support. While enrollment has increased, quality remains low. To improve primary education outcomes, the document recommends increasing parental involvement, student counseling, pre-nursery education, practical teaching methods, teacher training, and infrastructure development. Regular management reviews are also suggested to enhance the overall primary education system in India.

The document discusses plans for developing sustainable and carbon-neutral future cities in India. Some key points discussed include: - India's urban population is growing rapidly and will reach 590 million by 2030, bringing challenges around housing, transportation, waste management and other civic issues. - A proposed future city design includes a personal rapid transit (PRT) system using electric vehicles to provide efficient intra-city transportation, reducing pollution and congestion. - Developing sustainable systems for areas like transportation, water, waste and energy use will be important for future cities to be environmentally friendly while supporting large populations. Challenges around funding and implementation would need to be addressed.

DAV3

The Future City Competition allows middle school students to design future cities through simulation software, research an engineering problem, build a scale model using recycled materials, and present their ideas to judges. Students work in teams, mentored by an educator and engineer, to envision economically, socially, environmentally, and culturally sustainable cities that address challenges like inequality, infrastructure, pollution, and cultural cohesion. The document then discusses current problems facing cities and a proposed solution framework before outlining global challenges and immediate economic, social, environmental, and cultural hurdles cities face.

Boosting agricultural productivity in India is important to meet the demands of a growing population and improve economic conditions. Current problems in Indian agriculture include small land holdings, inadequate irrigation, depleted soils, and lack of storage facilities. Proposed solutions include expanding irrigation facilities, increasing mechanization, using fertilizers and pesticides, and implementing soil fertility management practices. These solutions could be implemented through training farmers, providing financial support, and procuring crops at minimum prices. Increased productivity would positively impact food security and exports but may stress natural resources if not implemented sustainably. Challenges to boosting productivity include resource depletion, climate change impacts, and ensuring decent work conditions.

ARIHANT-B

1) The document proposes a village model to address problems in Indian agriculture by forming farmer cooperatives to pool resources and operate farms collectively, increasing productivity and incomes. 2) An agro-department would be established to advise cooperatives on crops, techniques, and connect them to research. 3) Private agro-industries could invest by leasing land from villages and paying farmer salaries to grow desired crops using their methods. This benefits farmers, industry, and the government.

INNOGENE5

The document proposes a plan to promote research and innovation in India by targeting students from high school through post-graduation. It would establish teams across areas like recruitment, administration, legal support, media, IT, finance, and science. The plan aims to benefit 200 million students annually by inspiring innovative thinking, providing research opportunities and scholarships, making patents and publications easier, and linking universities and industries. It estimates a budget of 600 crore rupees and expects to file 1200 patents annually while developing products for India and boosting the economy.

This document proposes a technology-driven solution to address the shortage of teachers in remote Indian schools by leveraging Aakash tablets and broadcast centers. Key aspects of the proposed model include: 1. Equipping schools in remote areas with Aakash tablets, TVs, and local wardens instead of distributing tablets to individual students. 2. Establishing broadcast centers in urban areas to enable existing teachers to teach classes remotely to multiple rural schools via video calls. 3. Recruiting and training local wardens to assist with classroom management and infrastructure support during remote lessons. This model aims to improve access to education in teacher-short areas at a lower cost than existing initiatives while generating local employment opportunities

The document proposes introducing a hybrid public-private model for primary education in India to address issues with infrastructure, management, and quality in public schools. It suggests issuing students education coupons to attend private schools that are funded but independently managed, with funding amounts tied to school performance. This proposed model aims to provide quality education for all primary students in India while creating jobs and holding schools accountable for results.

techno5s

The document discusses the issues of gender inequality and lack of empowerment for women in India, noting that women are still often seen as second class citizens and subjected to patriarchal control in both family and public life. It outlines some of the key reasons for this situation, such as low literacy rates, poverty, and social norms, and advocates for empowering women through greater education and economic opportunities as well as protecting them from violence and harassment.

JAUGGERNAUTS

The document proposes a mobile application that would be pre-installed on all Java-enabled phones to provide women's safety features like automatically sending a distress message with location to emergency contacts by long-pressing a button. It also suggests employing mobile help centers that patrol unsafe areas and offer immediate assistance if any suspicious activity or incidents are reported. Finally, the document discusses implementing a buddy system incentive program where women log their schedules and locations with coworker buddies who check in on them and contact authorities if needed.

ARIHANT-C

The document proposes establishing a Central Body for Student Development and Employment (CBSDE) to address the problem of youth unemployment in India. The CBSDE would be funded by the central government and work with educational institutions and companies to provide students with internships, training opportunities, career counseling and soft skills development. It would streamline the process of matching students to opportunities and aim to curb issues like partiality, discrimination and imbalance in opportunities across fields of study. Challenges in establishing such a large national body include high costs, maintaining relationships and preventing corruption, but these could be mitigated through proper oversight, verification processes and coordination between CBSDE branches in colleges.

The document discusses issues related to criminal charges against MPs in India. It notes that 162 MPs elected to the 15th Lok Sabha faced criminal charges, with 76 facing serious charges. It also notes a large increase in the assets of re-elected MPs from 2004 to 2009. The introduction of electronic voting machines was seen as a reform, but the process remains slow as MPs have incentives to delay reforms that could impact criminal benefactors. While recent Supreme Court rulings barred convicted candidates from running, there are concerns this could be misused and concerns about instability in the legal system from overruling past judgements. Possible solutions discussed include putting a stay on convictions.

TRIGGER

The document proposes a volunteer-driven skills training model to address India's shortage of skilled workers. Unemployed individuals would be recruited as volunteer trainers and provide skills training to students on weekends using local government schools and offices. A central management team would map skills needs, recruit trainers, design curriculum, and provide implementation support through an online platform and regional offices. The goal is to train 5 million students annually across 100 cities through 500,000 volunteer trainers, imparting skills like English, computers, mathematics, and life skills. Key challenges include securing funding, integrating with formal education, and ensuring placement opportunities for students.

Overall, it aims to better understand how to promote social inclusion, particularly for women, in climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts.

Gender and development planning

dwarakanath bingisetty

Gender planning aims to ensure equality and equity between women and men through empowering women in developing societies. It focuses on the relationship between gender and development, formulating gender policy, and implementing gender-sensitive planning practices. Fairness demands that everyone, regardless of gender, has equal opportunities. Gender planning can be conceptualized in three ways: as target-group planning focusing on women; as participatory planning that shapes identities and needs; and by addressing how planning reproduces social categories like gender. Case studies from Namibia, India, and Tunisia show how gender analysis and participatory research methods were used to inform agricultural and development policies to make them more responsive to women's roles and needs.

Developing gender responsive indicators

Gender responsive indicators measure changes in gender equality over time. They help evaluate whether programs contribute to gender equality by identifying the changes in women and men's status and roles that are intended. Using a gender lens enables better planning, accountability, and stimulating discussion of shared experiences. Good indicators are realistic, meaningful, quantitative or qualitative, time-bound, and include inputs, processes and outcomes determined with target populations. Indicators can measure changes at the macro, meso, or micro level and be collected through various methods like surveys, interviews and observations. Selecting appropriate indicators requires a participatory approach and measuring trends to gauge progress towards gender equality goals.
