More about this training

This self-paced course teaches you how to identify the role of gender in communities and use this awareness to better integrate women and marginalized populations when working with groups in local production enterprises.

This course establishes a theoretical foundation for the study of gender and provides tools to apply and integrate gender perspectives into agricultural work with a goal of bringing growth, productivity, and policy benefits to communities. 

Through a combination of educational videos, short readings, and knowledge check questions, you will learn about development theory, gender, empowerment, equality, equity, and justice. With this theoretical framework, you will examine masculinity and femininity in agriculture and use this knowledge to help bring growth and productivity into agricultural programming and policies.
