This publication “Training guide on gender and climate change” is written by Moushumi Chaudhury.
CGIAR and the FAO launched a new training guide, “Gender and Climate Change Research in Agriculture and Food Security for Rural Development”.
The organizations begin to identify the most significant tools for gaining a better understanding of current adaptation as well as mitigation strategies pursued by men and women throughout different regions. The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) joined forces to review and refine existing tools, many of which were developed by FAO and partners and develop a new, module-and web-based training guide.
The manual provide users with resources and participatory action research tools for collecting, analyzing and sharing gender-sensitive information about agricultural communities, households and individuals who are facing climate change. This will for instance sensitize users to the links of socio-economic and gender issues in the context of climate change in the agriculture and food security sectors. The guide also applies knowledge gained beyond research to encourage gender-sensitive adaptation and mitigation activities in agriculture.
