Situational Analysis of Science Quality of CGIAR Gender Research based on extended abstracts 2023 GENDER Conference

Abstract

This situational analysis evaluates the scientific quality of gender research within the CGIAR system using 61 extended abstracts submitted for the 2023 GENDER Conference. Guided by the Quality of Research for Development (Qo4RD) framework, the analysis employs a rigorous assessment tool across ten criteria, focusing on aspects like innovativeness, robustness, reliability, and implications for end-users. Findings indicate significant strengths in end-user relevance and potential for social change, while areas for improvement include external validity and intersectional approaches. The study concludes with recommendations to enhance research quality by leveraging strengths and addressing key challenges to foster more gender-equal and just agrifood systems.
