Briefly mention the webinars that were hosted by the Platform in 2017
Explain the graph: Our numbers are good – but they can be better if we start planning the webinars early, and distribute communication materials well in advance of the webinars.
Lessons learned:
Start planning the webinars early!
Make sure the highest quality research is profiled
Should we start to have some internal, some external webinars like with the post-docs?
Stress the value of gender researchers sharing mailchimp campaigns with their own networks
Emphasize that people engage with the webinars by downloading the webinar recordings. The webinars are a great resource for people beyond the ones that participated in the webinars
Lessons learned:
Successes:
We are able to feature a lot of CGIAR gender research in our newsletters – they are a wealth of information
We have received positive feedback from several stakeholders, and more people are reaching out to us now, asking if we can include their work.
Challenges:
Harvesting the best of the best? Are we featuring your research?
Is the newsletters to long? What about the Q3 newsletter?
Trend:
We have more direct newsletter opens (this is because we our subscribers list has increased from 230 to 500).
The importance of sharing our newsletters! If you share our newsletter with your network, we will reach a lot more people (this is indicated by the higher numbers for “total opens”
Say something about “important people and institutions” reading our newsletter

Briefly mention the two campaign that we developed in 2017
Purpose of the campaigns: Increase the visibility and impact of CGIAR gender research
Been working closely with the GRCs on the campaigns, but also communication staff.
Lessons learned: What we need from you (gender researchers) in order to make the campaigns successful
We need to feature the best of the best CGIAR gender research (ISI journal articles) – have we been successful in include the best of CGIAR research in the campaigns?
Start early!!! It takes time to develop a campaign cutting across all CRPs
Include your communications people – they can help edit the text, and they know of good photos for us to include in the campaigns
Trend:
A lot more views on our last campaign – we are very happy with that!
Better use of social media: IWD vs IDRW – this is something that we will work on in 2018, more on this later.
The Engendering Data and Methods Blog builds on the “EnGendering Data Blog” curated by PIM in phase 1 of CGIAR Research Programs (give thanks to Cheryl and Caitlyn). The objective of the PIM blog was to develop a community of practice around the collection of sex-disaggregated data for gender analysis in agriculture.
With the EnGendering Data and Methods blog, this year, we invited gender researchers to reflect on methods that they use and data challenges that they face. We hope that moving forward the blog posts will be a resource for researchers collecting sex-disaggregated data for gender analysis in agriculture and natural resource management.
It has been challenging to make researcher commit to writing blog posts… A lot of interest in sharing knowledge, but it seems that you are very busy? This year, we have been working on finalizing three blog drafts, so keep your eyes open for these blog in 2018. more about this later.
Do you have data or methods -related Insights or tips to share with fellow researchers? Use this blog to share your knowledge and learning related to gender data and methods.
Briefly explain how the website has changed since March 2017:
New about us
Advisory committee
GRCs
Center Gender Reps
“Themes”: Featuring CoPs – we want to also feature your CoP!
Some other changes that Ewen will talk more about in a second
We populate the website on a daily basis: our news section is very popular (see next slide)! Important that we feature your work.
Should briefly mention here the ACU feed, on our “harvesting challenge” (Ewen to talk more about this later in the presentation)

Compare views
The gap in views can partly be explained by the super popular vacancy post from 2016 “Visiting researcher: CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network Communications support” – 4159 views!
http://gender.cgiar.org/vacancy-announcement-visiting-researcher/
Something we need to work on for 2018
Quickly mention the function of the ACU feed and how I use it
Mention here the “popularity” of:
Home page (featuring)
GENNOVATE (emphasize that it is beneficial to have a CoP page on the gender platform website)
Resources: People are actually paying attention to the newsfeed – important that you share your publications with us!
News: Same as above, but also for other “gender outputs”, such as blogs and project news.
Vacancies: Share you relevant vacancies with us!
Good to see GRIT on the list
Events: we can also share more information about your events (see the next slide, and emphasize the popularity of events in 2016)
2016 top pages:

Quickly mention the CoPs
Especially notice Netherlands and Colombia
Age group:
More or less the same as 2016, but we see an increase in the age group 35-44 compared to 2016.
Gender:
Same as 2016
