The CGIAR Gender Equality and Inclusion Accelerator (GENDER Accelerator) leads innovative research to advance gender equality, youth opportunities, and social inclusion within CGIAR’s Food, Land, and Water Systems Portfolio, aligning efforts to move CGIAR and our partners toward achieving gender equality and social inclusion.

With the mandate to co-develop impactful, scalable solutions and to drive systemic change within CGIAR and its partners and building on the successes of the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform, the GENDER Accelerator will play a vital role in building an enabling external environment for gender equality and inclusion research within food, land, and water systems.

In this event, speakers will highlight opportunities in the new program, gather feedback from partners on how we can work together to address the inequities in food systems and showcase some transformative approaches the CGIAR is taking to close the gender gaps.

Join this event where we highlight lessons learned over the years, where the gaps still exist and how we forge towards impact on equality in food, land and water systems.
