Gender research and its impact
The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Gender Science Network (GSN) organized a webinar series to enhance gender research and its communication and impact. Integrating gender within other (research) domains is a key objective. Therefore the webinar serves as a learning and engaging platform to dialogue, better understand, adapt, and implement new and existing gender initiatives, methodologies, tools, and approaches in projects and more extensive research programs.
On 2 March, the first webinar entitled “Structurally integrating gender into cassava breeding: The Triadic comparison of technologies (Tricot) and prospects” was held. The meeting was successful, given the high number of attendees and their active feedback. Béla Teeken, Associate Social and Gender Scientist, presented with support from Olamide Olaosebikan – Senior Research Associate and Bello Abolore – Senior Research Supervisor. Steven Cole, Senior Gender specialist and GSN Coordinator, and Martina Cavicchioli, CIM Gender Scientist, moderated the session.
