There's an urgent need for food affecting many parts of Africa and a disproportionate amount of those people who need food are women. Guest host Susan Bonner speaks with Gabrielle Cole, regional head of gender equality and inclusion for Plan International in West and Central Africa. We also hear from Elizabeth Bryan, a senior scientist at the International Food Policy Research Institute and one of the authors of a new article published in the journal Nature. She says a more gender-focused approach to aid is desperately needed to prevent the food insecurity women are facing.
PIM Virtual Launch Event Forest Tenure Pathways to Gender Equality: A Practitioner's Guide January 29, 2021, 9:00-10:00 AM EST There is no one single approach to reforming forest tenure practices for achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment. Rather, it involves taking advantage of opportunities that emerge in various institutional arenas, such as policy and law-making and implementation, government administration, customary or community-based tenure governance, or forest restoration at the landscape scale. The overall aim is to promote the responsible governance of forest tenure so that it serves the interests of both women and men of all backgrounds. A new practitioner’s guide prepared by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) authors with support from the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) and other donors* explains how to promote gender-responsive forest tenure reform in community-based forest regimes. It is aimed at those taking up this challenge in developing countries. This sourcebook provides multiple forms of guidance: conceptual ideas, operational direction, good practices, case-study insights, research findings and resources for further exploration. It is designed to support a wide range of practitioners, women and men, from a range of institutions such as government offices, non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, donor agencies, women’s organizations, as well as networks and federations. The practitioner’s guide offers numerous case studies as well as resource materials from across Africa, Asia, and Latin America so that each issue can be explored through real-world experience. Moreover, the guide draws upon the latest manuals and guidance documents available on promoting gender-responsive forest tenure reform. This guide emerged from several years of research and engagement in multiple countries under CIFOR's “Global Comparative Study on Forest Tenure Reform”. The project was coordinated by Anne Larson and the late Esther Mwangi. The author Nayna Jhaveri and editors Anne Larson and Iliana Monterroso will present the guide and answer questions from the audience. Commentary will be provided by the Tenure Facility’s gender focal point Ylwa Renström Svensson and a member of the CGIAR GENDER Platform Elizabeth Bryan. *CIFOR’s ‘Global Comparative Study on Forest Tenure Reform’ is funded by the European Commission and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) with technical support from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture (FAO).

This PIM Webinar recorded on February 6, 2020, features a presentation by and a discussion with Dr. Ruth Meinzen-Dick, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI and Elizabeth Bryan, Senior Scientist, IFPRI. There is growing recognition of the importance of gender issues in policy and research. Gender equality is recognized as one of the Sustainable Development Goals and is key to achieving most of the other goals as well. Yet it is often not clear what this means, in practice, or what kinds of knowledge and interventions are needed to contribute to these goals. This webinar will discuss key gender issues and entry points for policy research and outreach, focusing on processes for integrating gender into each stage of the research process, including priority setting, research design, methodologies, conduct of research, and communications for impact.

She had the perfect marriage. Really, they were madly in love. Several years later she filed for divorce. The realization that part of the compromise in the marriage was losing herself, Elizabeth knew that she had to save ‘herself’ and her self-worth. With her sons and much heartache to come, Elizabeth left the comfort of her home and started a discovery of self-awareness and so much more. Like so many women, Elizabeth had left all of the financial decisions to her husband and like so many women, she faced huge surprises.

Case Studies: The role of gender for transformative change in food and water systems: Elizabeth Bryan, Senior Scientist, Environment and Production Technology Division IFPRI From climate change to malnutrition, poverty to biodiversity loss, air pollution to humanitarian crises—the problems facing our world today are deeply interconnected. Holistic initiatives to address these challenges, notably the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are becoming more common. But efforts siloed within the development, health, or environment communities remain the norm. This seminar discusses the findings of the Bridge Collaborative-UN Development Programme report ( https://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/librarypage/hiv-aids/bigger-change-faster--.html), Bigger Change Faster: Integrated Development, Health, and Environment Actions for a Sustainable Future, that describes actions to accelerate cross-sectoral solutions.
Rapid Fire Presentation/Speaker: Better at strengthening women’s and men's resilience by Elizabeth Bryan, Senior Scientist, IFPRI The Global Commission on Adaptation ( https://gca.org/global-commission-on-adaptation/adapt-our-world ) seeks to highlight the adaptation challenges confronting poor people, notably poor farmers whose livelihoods are fragile and dependent on the weather and launch a year of action to begin rising to meet this challenge. In this seminar ( https://www.ifpri.org/event/adapting-new-climate-realities-doing-more-better-and-new ), IFPRI researchers advance paths towards meeting the adaptation challenge by doing more, better, and new.
