CGIAR Research Program on Rice (GRiSP) - Gender Strategy

Abstract

At the end of 2012, GRiSP initiated a process to review and revise its gender strategy. The main purpose is to strengthen its effectiveness by establishing a results-based performance system in line with the overall recommendations included in the CGIAR "Strategy and Results Framework Action Plan" which was approved by the CGIAR Fund Council October 2012. GRiSP�??s revised gender strategy will be based on a solid impact pathway and theory of change on how �??empowerment�?? of women in the agricultural research for development (AR4D) arena and in the rice value chain (women farmers, post harvest operators, processors) accelerates the delivery of GRiSP�??s intermediate development outcomes and thus contributes to the delivery of the CGIAR system level outcomes
