In an effort to identify these partners, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security’s Gender and Social Inclusion and Climate Services Flagship supported the collection of information about potential scaling partners, including government agencies, research institutes, NGOs, and women’s and civil society organisations at the global, regional, national, and sub-national levels in CCAFS countries. This report includes a compilation of major themes from across CCAFS regions and countries, detailed information about region-specific organisations, including their existing or potential role to scale CSA. Additionally, successful models, where organizations have benefitted or made the effort to reach out to both men and women equally at a larger scale, are highlighted. Finally, this report features organisational contact information. Keywords Climate-smart agriculture; gender; climate-smart villages; scaling. 4 About the author Mamta Mehar is an interdisciplinary social scientist and a 2017 Borlaug Fellowship by the US Department of Agriculture.

Their study, analogous to the findings of Koernet et al. (2018), argue that the phrase “what scaling is” lacks clarity and is poorly conceptualized. The authors also documented “poor understanding and use of the theme of gender and no funds to implement gender related activities” in the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security’s (CCAFS) scaling project. To address these challenges, the CCAFS gender and social inclusion (GSI) strategy was recently updated (Huyer et al., 2016). To impact millions, as the CCAFS GSI strategy indicates, scaling requires collaboration with global, national, and local level actors. To scale gender and social inclusive CSA, collaborative partners need to have the potential and vision to address gender norms. The present report is initiated by CCAFS GSI and the Climate Services Flagship to collect information about women’s and civil society organizations with the potential to serve as partners for scaling out future GSI outcomes. The information for this report was collected at the global, regional, national, and sub- national levels in CCAFS countries and included the following methods: • Semi-structured key interviews with Flagships leaders (FLs), Regional Programmes Leaders (RPL), Project Leaders (PLs), Science Officers (SO), and CCAFS country gender specialists (ex: field researcher, research assistant, senior scientist). Interview participants are listed in Appendix A. • A desk review to cross-examine and complement the information shared by above key informants (KI). The report consists of four parts. The first section will have information compiled under major themes from all regions and countries. The second section includes detailed information about region-specific organisations, with their existing or potential role for CCAFS, specifically GSI, to scale CSA, climate information services (CIS), and climate-smart villages (CSVs). The third section will highlight successful models where organizations have benefitted, or made the effort to reach out to, both men and women equally at a larger scale. The fourth and last section compiles organisational contact information. In total, information from about 75 organisations was received. Due to cross-country complexities surrounding gender-norms, political arrangement, and need, understanding the distribution and type of organisations remains a challenge. The organisations are classified in five major categories, as listed in Table 1. The categorisation is based on common characteristics (refer to Appendix B). 8 Table 1: Synthesis of organization reported from different regions Media ICT Government Private NGOs East Africa , ,   West Africa ,   , South East Asia  , , South Asia     , Latin America ,  , Note:  indicates the availability, used if GSI is included in existing or past projects, if potential GSI organisations are mentioned 9 Existing and potential project partners for CCAFS-GSI projects In this section, detailed information about collaborating organisations, suggested by KI, are provided, including more information about their classification from Table 1 and their region- specific prevalence (Table 2 to Table 6). It should be noted that the region listed is where the collaborative organisation conducts its work. Information is also collected to assess their strength in context of collaboration with them for GSI. 10 Table 2: East Africa- Existing and potential partners Region Organization Type CCAFS CCAFs Potential areas for Why is this organization recommended for GSI?

In East Africa, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, the most noted organisational strength was wide country coverage and strong community connections. In East Africa, CSA technical expertise was also a commonly cited organisation strength. Expertise in gender research was included for organisations in East Africa, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. In Latin America, CSV experience was the most common organisational strength and it was the only region where government connections and interest were included. Communication expertise or well-established communication tools were noted for organisations in Southeast Asia. No organisational strengths were included for any organisations in West Africa. Regarding weaknesses and gaps, West Africa is the most notable as no information was collected. Future research should explore these organisations further to paint a fuller picture of potential CCAFS partners in West Africa. Organisations in East Africa lack technical expertise in communications, gender research, and government connections. Identifying future organisational partners in Latin America should include organisations with research experience, technical expertise in communications, and local or community-based connections.

In 2015, the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) worked with SSU3 to estimate the impact of mobile-phones and to scale CSA.4 ICRAF and CCAFS partners with SSU and Mediae, the show’s production company, for two years to reach both male and female farmers. Few studies have estimated the impact of SSU in adoption of CSA by both male and female farmers.5 Another successful example in East Africa, another media program, is Farm Radio International and the Farm Radio Trust platform in Tanzania and Malawi (Hampson et al 2015; World Bank, FAO and IFAD 2015). West Africa: CCAFS, with Esoko and the Ghana Metrological Agency (GMet), developed a PPP business model in 2017 to deliver CIS to farmers through mobile phones. At present, Esoko has more than 300,000 0.3 million farmers, of which more than one-fifth are women (Pertey et al 2019). Few studies have been conducted using the Esoko data base to examine gender-responsive CIS (Partey et al 2018, Etwire et al 2018). Southeast Asia: ICRAF and CCAFS, together with CARE, implemented an ACIS project for women and ethnic minority farmers in Southeast Asia. From 2015-2018, the project provided practical, agro-climatic information and guidance, with particular attention given to the unique gendered aspects of disseminating this information in Vietnam, Lao PDR, and Cambodia. Data on the gender-differentiated availability, accessibility, and timeliness are available through the baseline survey results (Simelton et al 2018, Care and ICRAF 2016, Coulier and Wilderspin 2016, Duong et al 2017).6 The project’s title explicitly focuses on women and ethnic minorities but, in terms of project implementation, equal importance was given to all genders. Outputs illustrating the importance of understanding both genders in the implementation of CIS include: • A situational analysis of existing gender roles, relations, and power dynamics at the household and community level, integrating diversity factors, such as age, ethnicity, and other socioeconomic conditions. • An assessment report of existing ACIS, with analysis of gender and equity aspects. 1 Shamba is Swahili for “farm” 2 https://csa.guide/csa/shamba-shape-up 3 http://www.worldagroforestry.org/newsroom/highlights/shamba-shape-gets-helping-hand-icraf 4 http://www.fao.org/climatechange/39932-048e172f50329beac1b48e28a313ff90e.pdf 5 https://cgspace.cgiar.org/bitstream/handle/10568/70084/shambaimpacts.pdf; https://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PA00KVFN.pdf ; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/279512608 ; http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5546e.pdf 6 https://ccafs.cgiar.org/using-information-enhance-adaptive-capacity-women-and-ethnic-minorities-southeast- asia#.XfNlZegzaUm 23 • Research protocols to identify and ensure gender and equity research gaps are identified along with gender-responsive research methodologies and outputs. • Establishing a database to collect qualitative and quantitative data on monitoring and evaluation (M&E) indicators, including disaggregation by gender and social groups. • Policy reviews which apply gender and equity filters to identify incentives and barriers for inclusive and equitable ACIS. Part of the ACIS implementation includes engagement with the CCAFS created a gender toolkit, “Gender and Inclusion Toolbox: Participatory Research in Climate Change and Agriculture.” Another example is International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) in the Philippines, where CCAFS, in cooperation with IIRR, showed how climate-smart interventions can provide opportunities to enhance the economic status of women and reduce gender gaps (Villavicencio et al 2018, Rosimo et al 2018). IIRR tested CSA approaches that were uniquely relevant for women’s roles in farming systems. For example, flooring included bedding made of rice husk and raising native pig breeds, which are tolerant to high temperature and heavy rains and typhoons, both of which were previously in men’s control (Rosimo et al 2018). South Asia: CCAFS collaborated with a local, non-profit organisation, BAIF Development Research Foundation, in the Betul districts of Madhya Pradesh States of India to scale CSA. To lead the technology implementation, one Super-Champion farmer, four women Champion farmers, and 134 CSA farmers, both women and men, were selected from each of the 25 targeted villages7 (Chanana et al 2018). Latin America: Plantwise,8 an initiative led by the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) in Colombia, helps farmers manage agriculture loss due to plant health problems. CCAFS trained plant advisors and assistants provided diagnoses, treatment advice, and recommendations to farmers. Women farmers were encouraged to join the program.9 As the Rural Market Opportunities in the Gulf of Fonseca project, led by Swisscontact, is funded by the Canadian Government, the project is subject to Canada’s feminist policy for international cooperation. KI believes that, due to Canada’s policy, the project will reach and benefit women through the establishment of participation rates. For instance, the project’s implementation of Farmer Schools requires a percentage of participants are women. A gender balance is also expected among the project’s extensionists and 7Super-Champions are large landholders, have the capacity to implement a large portfolio of technologies and practices, are financially well-off, and have influence and play a leadership role in developing a climate resilient agricultural production system. Champion farmers are medium to large landholders and can implement a relatively limited number of technologies and practices. CSA farmers are small, resource poor landholders who can implement a very limited set of technologies and practices. 8 https://www.plantwise.org/ 9 https://ccafs.cgiar.org/news/working-women-farmers-make-cambodian-communities- %E2%80%9Cplantwise%E2%80%9D#.XfOHyugzaUl 24 specialists. Furthermore, through intra-household surveys, focus groups, and participatory workshops, barriers for women’s empowerment and/or involvement in the value chains of the study, including cashews, dairy, and fruits, where identified. Overall, the project implemented actions that reduce, or at the very least do not increase, gaps. Another ongoing project, titled “His and hers, time and income: How intra-household dynamics impact nutrition in agricultural households,”10 partners with CRS to reach and benefit women. The prime focus is to understand how intra-household relations affect nutritional outcomes. To do this, the preferences of both men and women are studied to understand the relationship between preferences and the nutritional status of all household members (Muriel et al 2019). CCAFS in Latin America also regularly interacts with policymakers at the regional level, such as the Parliamentary Institute of Colombia, to support the adaptation and implementation of gender and social inclusion principles.11,12 A national guide, using a participatory approach, was developed,13 with CARE involved in some of the workshops that helped to develop the gender guide. The CCAFS Latin America team felt CARE had a strong gender focus and suggested the organisation as a potential strategic partner. Together, these cases point to important considerations for initiatives which seek to scale-out gender outcomes. Employing information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as television, radio, and mobile phones, as in the case of East and West Africa, can make information more accessible. Projects should also explicitly focus on the needs and perspectives of men and women, including the collection of sex-disaggregated data. In the case of Southeast Asia and Latin America, women were actively included in project design and implementation. Finally, the use of gender toolkits and guides, such as those used in Latin America and Southeast Asia, can help researchers and project practitioners to plan and carry out project-related activities with a gender focus. 10 https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/35697/discover?query=%22Proyecto+IMMANA%22 11 https://blog.ciat.cgiar.org/es/herramientas-cualitativas-para-el-analisis-de-genero-en- agricultura/; https://blog.ciat.cgiar.org/es/maranon-y-empoderamiento-de-mujeres-en-el-golfo-de-fonseca/ 12 https://ccafs.cgiar.org/news/media-centre/in-the-news/building-capacity-cambodians-parliamentary-climate- diplomacy-reliefweb#.XfOIsugzaUk 13 Refer to the following for more information: https://ccafs.cgiar.org/news/agriculture-food-security-and-climate-change-gender-lens#.Xi9bFVP0mCQ https://ccafs.cgiar.org/news/gender-climate-change-and-agriculture-guatemala-leads-regional- dialogue#.Xi9bSFP0mCR https://ccafs.cgiar.org/news/designing-gender-sensitive-and-climate-smart-technologies-must-future-guatemalan- agriculture#.Xi9bS1P0mCR 25 Scaling Plan To plan for scaling, the KIs were asked, “What strategy or approach you have in plan/progress for gender inclusion. Are there any specific target for scaling CSA/CSV/CIS with gender inclusion?” The Southeast Asia team suggested, that for Phase 2 of CCAFS, the FP2 project will focus on scaling gender-sensitive CSVs in Southeast Asia. Previous CSV projects generated a pool of scalable, transformative CSA innovations, with the potential to deliver outcomes at scale, including gender. For CIS, the Climate Services Menu for the Southeast Asia project will ensure gender roles are clearly understood and addressed as a scaling driver in the framework. Mechanisms for assessing and including youth in design and implementation of climate services will be assessed as a factor to define potential scaling pathways across CS-VC. Sustainable climate services require that women and men are involved in designing business models and scaling pathways for CS-VC. In connection to this, the project will evaluate user categories, as gender is a scaling driver in the business model. The role of youth as intermediaries, or translators of climate services, especially for digital climate service solutions will be investigated. The Latin America team developed a national guide for the inclusion of gender issues in CSA initiatives in Guatemala using a participatory approach. Since 2018, CCAFS has worked closely with the climate change and gender units of Guatemala’s Ministry of Agriculture (MAGA) to improve the integration of gender considerations in activities. The gender guide exemplifies the results from four participatory workshops with 22 institutions in the country. The gender guide is expected to be implemented within a national program called Programa de Agricultura Familiar para el Fortaleciminento de la Economía Campesina (PAFFEC) of the MAGA. The guide has already been distributed to extension agents in Guatemala. To further scale efforts, the gender guide was also presented in different avenues to various Central American countries, including a Spanish gender guide titled, Paso a paso para la inclusión en género en iniciativas de agricultura sostenible adptada al clima para Guatemala.14 14 https://hdl.handle.net/10568/103254 26 Conclusion The information in this report was received from KIs of different backgrounds and institutes within CCAFS. The information was cross-checked with a secondary search. Key points, based on interaction with KIs, include: • The prevalence of organisational collaboration between CCAFS and other organisations varied across region and type of collaborative organisation. West African and Southeast Asian countries appear to have the most incidents of collaboration, while South Asia shared the least information. Although Latin America had relatively few actual collaborations, there were many potential organisations mentioned. • Most of the organisations mentioned are local- and national-level governmental organisations. The West and East Africa CCAFS programs differed in that most collaborations were with non- profit or private organisations. • Organisations can be stand-alone platforms or multiple organisations can complement each other to scale-up. For example, in the case of the East African television show, Shamba Shape Up, information about, including the benefits of, CSA/CIS practices can be shared. Field government offices or other local organisations, such as private organisations or NGOs, can provide demonstrations and technology/service trainings. Private players or NGOs can assure the availability and accessibility of CSA technologies and/or services. • While few organisations have collaborated with CCAFS in the last two years to undertake gender inclusive research themes, there are a few successful examples (see Section III). It is important to understand the scaling unit’s dimension (ex: household, community, village or community-based organisation). The needs and priorities of men and women vary across entire value chains, which is important to consider for scaling. An understanding of how, where, and in which contexts CSA-relevant technologies and practices influence gender with evidence from South Asia and Africa is discussed by (Mehar & Subash 2020). These arguments should be considered for the report. CCAFS programs are also implemented at different capacity levels, with single-, multi-, and trans- discipline approaches incorporated into various programs. Guidelines for a common methodological approach, one which integrates gender and includes gender analysis in program and research design, is important for encouraging all disciplines to work with similar gender concepts and to develop a GSI strategy plan.15 Give the importance of gender to CCAFS’ work and scaling CSA activities, identifying potential partners at the global, regional, national, and sub-national levels is essential. As this analysis lists only organisational details, it is important for future work to authenticate organisations and to 15 An example of a common guidelines can be found in a reference guide developed by WorldFish, which includes concepts, methods, and tools for gender analysis in fish for both gender and non-gender researchers (Mehar and McDougall, 2018). 27 elaborate on the reasons and manner for their inclusion. This authentication should include standard criteria to ensure a pathway for successful, inclusive CSA scaling. 28 References CARE, [ICRAF] World Agroforestry Centre. 2016.
