Resource information
This module provides guidance and a
comprehensive menu of practical tools for integrating gender
in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of
projects and investments in climate-smart agriculture (CSA).
The module emphasizes the importance and ultimate goal of
integrating gender in CSA practices, which is to reduce
gender inequalities and ensure that men and women can
equally benefit from any intervention in the agricultural
sector to reduce risks linked to climate change. Climate
change has an impact on food and nutrition security and
agriculture, and the agriculture sector is one of the
largest emitters of greenhouse gases. It is crucial to
recognize that climate change affects men and women
differently. The content is drawn from tested good practice
and innovative approaches, with an emphasis on lessons
learned, benefits and impacts, implementation issues, and
replicability. These insights and lessons related to gender
in CSA will assist practitioners to improve project
planning, design, monitoring, and evaluation; to effectively
scale up and enhance the sustainability of efforts that are
already underway; or to pursue entirely different solutions.
This module contains five thematic notes (TNs) that provide
a concise and technically sound guide to gender integration
in the selected themes. These notes summarize what has been
done and highlight the success and lessons learned from
projects and programs.
