A gender analysis training manual, developed for Africa RISING, a USAID funded research-for-development (R4D) program.Excerpt from the introduction:Although tailored to a specific program, the manual covers aspects of gender analysis that are relevant to other actors working with similar objectives. More specifically, these are researchers that engage with smallholders and other stakeholders to jointly develop and test agricultural technologies – technologies that not only enhance productivity and profitability and are environmentally sound, but also adapted to the differential needs of women and men farmers and benefit both in an equal manner. This is in line with a broader sustainability concept for agricultural intensification that includes equity (see Musumba et al. 2017).The focus of this manual is on the evaluation of technologies for agricultural production. [...] The manual will serve as a source book for three general audiences:facilitators conducting trainings on gender analysis in agricultural research,researchers attending such trainings, and all those interested in learning more about concepts andtools for gender analysis.Note: This resource was added to this database as part of a migration of resources from the now defunct CCRP Sphaera platform, and is still awaiting a comprehensive review and quality check.
