The document outlines objectives and strategies for a Dryland Systems CRP project focusing on gender. The six objectives center around resilience, wealth/well-being, food access, natural resource management, gender empowerment, and capacity to innovate. Strategies include integrating gender into analysis and research planning. Fifteen case studies across three years in Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia will examine how gender norms and agency relate to innovation in agriculture/NRM and vice versa. Gender transformative approaches and methods like focus groups, observation, interviews will be used.
