The CGIAR GENDER Platform works to elevate and promote gender research, both beyond and within CGIAR.
Each CGIAR research center has appointed a gender research coordinator, who provides strategic direction for the gender research and related activities within that center. The gender research coordinators work closely with all gender scientists and those doing gender-integrated research in their center.
As experts in their field, CGIAR gender researchers represent an important resource for anyone working on gender in food systems. We welcome you to contact any among our selection of CGIAR gender research coordinators and experts below for information, resources and updates.
