Our work

As a CGIAR impact platform, GENDER guides and strengthens CGIAR research, ensuring its meaningful and lasting contributions to global targets for gender equality, opportunities for youth and social inclusion.

GENDER strengthens the performance of gender and social science research by providing the highest standards and setting strategic directions for current and future research efforts. This guidance enables CGIAR and its partners to conduct cutting-edge gender and social science research as well as to develop and scale innovations that advance gender equality, opportunities for youth and social inclusion.  

GENDER also conducts independent, strategic research, across CGIAR science groups and research initiatives, to widen and deepen CGIAR’s impacts on gender equality, opportunities for youth and social inclusion.

GENDER is led by its impact platform office and organizes its work in three interlinking modules: Evidence, Methods and Alliances.
