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.
