Item Agriemission monitor: Database for emission data visualization in livestock production systems(Poster, 2024-07) Verchot, Louis; Durango, Sandra; Romero, MiguelItem Characterization of dairy farming, feed types and management practices in Rwanda(Presentation, 2024-10-30) Sibiko, Kenneth W.; Munyentwari, Joseph Mbuta; Nyawira, SylviaThis research study is part of the LSIL-Rwanda project titled "Developing Climate-Smart Management Strategies to Improve the Sustainability of Smallholder Dairy Cattle Production Systems in Rwanda." The aim is to understand the socio-economic characteristics and the extent of adoption of improved forage grasses and climate-smart agriculture (CSA) among dairy farmers in the Burera, Nyagatare, and Nyanza districts of Rwanda. The results will be used to cluster and develop a typology for the farms, proposing appropriate improvements to enhance feed availability and milk production for better economic and environmental sustainability in the project sites. This study builds on cross-sectional survey data from a sample of 220 smallholders in the three districtsItem Principles of engagement and vision to action for transdisciplinary research and co-design in agroecology(Poster, 2025-04-08) Fuchs, Lisa Elena; Voss, Rachel C.; Freed, Sarah; Rietveld, Anne; Falk, Thomas; Triomphe, Bernard; Bergamini, Nadia; Dickens, Chris; Quintero, MarcelaLiving labs or living landscapes are gaining momentum as sub-national territories within which sustainable food system transformation is sought through multi-stakeholder engagement processes. In the CGIAR Agroecology Initiative, 11 ALLs were established in 8 countries. Here, ALLs are defined as multi-stakeholder spaces in which agroecological innovations can be identified, co-designed, tested, and adopted. These landscapes emerge as coherent territories that have fuzzy boundaries defined by the functionality and meaning bestowed onto them by their diverse users, who care about and are willing to take transformative action in pursuit of just food system transitions, rather than by geographical or administrative limits. ALLs respond to the common challenges that external partners face in accompanying and supporting local stakeholders on agroecological transition pathways without imposing their own views and agendas. ALLs offer an opportunity to act as transformation vehicles that foster transdisciplinary research, including the co-creation of knowledge and co-design of innovations. Principle-based engagement methods can help to support and enable locally driven transformation processes.Item Capacitación en monitoreo espacio-temporal de la erosión hídrica usando google earth engine(Presentation, 2025-01-01) Martin, JavierItem Delivering Resilient Dryland Food Systems: Human-Centered Water and Pasture Monitoring and Forecasting Early Warning System(Presentation, 2025-04) Alemayehu, SintayehuItem Gender transformative research from proposal writing to evaluation(Presentation, 2025-02-05) Nchanji, Eileen; Lutomia, Cosmas; Compaore, EvelineHow to integrate Gender equality and social inclusion in proposal writing Where are we on the gender agenda Frameworks Diverse donor expectations Tools/guides Concrete examples How to apply Gender transformative approaches – tools and guidelines Where we are Gender transformative approaches – WorldFish/FAO, Gender Impact platform/GTA COP Gender transformative indicators Some concrete examples How to develop inclusive gender communication What to focus on Some concrete examplesItem Gender Transformative Methodologies CoP. Reimagining intersectionality: Institutionalization of a concept, its complexity, illusions and contradictions(Presentation, 2024-08-06) Feldman, Shelley; Farnworth, Cathy Rozel; Bailey, ArwenFor many gender specialists, intersectional research represents one of the most important theoretical contributions of gender and feminist analyses. This is because such research acknowledges complexity and hierarchy, and division and difference among members of any identity category, including, but not limited, to women. Intersectional research also acknowledges and seeks to understand power as a relational phenomenon within social groups as well as between them. In practice, this means that thinking with an intersectional lens exposes how all identity categories including race, class, and gender, but also, sexuality, ability, nationality and ethnicity, and indigenous/migrant are not homogenous categories. Rather, categories marking difference refer to populations that entail relations of both oppression and domination, opportunities, and constraints. Significantly, as well, an intersectional approach not only presumes that identities are always multiple but, also, that they can only be understood as intertwined, intersecting, and reciprocal rather than as simply additive. By recognizing this complexity, an intersectionality lens asks researchers to be cognizant of within category variation, especially when generalizing across comparative cases. "Importantly, in my view, intersectional research recognizes data collection as a procedural question and exposes how, why, and what questions we ask to illuminate the kind of evidence that can respond to our research question. In contrast, I view analyses as a processual issue that corresponds to the connection between how we understand identities as social relations on the one hand, and the practices that might lead to institutional and structural transformations of these relations and environments on the other."Item Gender Transformative Methodologies CoP. Masculinities conversation 1 - Engaging men for gender equality - tools from Equimundo(Presentation, 2024-11-06) Vess, Joseph; Kimonyo, Augustin; Gallagher, Emily; Bailey, ArwenJoseph Vess and Augustin Kimonyo, both fellows of Equimundo and members of the MenEngage Alliance, introduced and discussed a new toolkit for ‘ENGAGING MEN FOR GENDER EQUALITY IN RURAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS'. The toolkit is part of a collection developed under an IFAD-funded Women's Resource Rights initiative with CIFOR-ICRAF, the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT and IFPRI. In this session, Joseph and Augustin: -Introduced the toolbox -Contextualized the project context in which it was developed in Uganda -Outlined the theory of change -Introduced some tools in the box (and some other tools outside the box) -Introduced some communities, individuals and resources all working in this space -Opened a discussion on how to engage men in gender-transformative research projects in food, land and water systemsItem Gender Transformative Methodologies CoP. Masculinities conversation 2 - Engaging men for gender equality in Uganda: Navigating resistance and backlash(Presentation, 2024-12-06) Kodwo Mensah, Emmanuel; Mwiine, Amon; Bailey, Arwen"Achieving gender equality requires the engagement of women and men, girls, and boys. It is everyone’s responsibility”. – Ban Ki-moon. While Ban Ki-moon's statement highlights the importance of engaging ALL genders in the pursuit of gender equality, there are still many unforeseen factors that can either accelerate or impede our progress. In this session, Emmanuel Mensah shares his experience working with men and boys in Uganda to embrace positive masculinities and become agents of change for gender equality. He discusses the resistance and backlash encountered in this process and explore strategies for navigating these challenges to achieve meaningful progress. He also highlights the importance of recourse and course correction, emphasizing the need for continuous learning and adaptation in our efforts to promote gender equality.Item Developing climate-smart management strategies to improve sustainability of smallholder dairy cattle production systems in Rwanda(Poster, 2024-03-01) Nyawira, Sylvia Sarah; Hoogenboom, Gerrit; Boote, Kenneth; Notenbaert, An; Mutimura, MupenziItem Developing climate-smart management strategies to improve sustainability of smallholder dairy cattle production systems in Rwanda(Presentation, 2024-11-01) Nyawira, Sylvia Sarah; Hoogenboom, Gerrit; Boote, Kenneth; Mutimura, Mupenzi; Waluse, Kenneth; Notenbaert, AnItem Gender Transformative Methodologies CoP. #Masculinities #Conversation 3 - Male involvement in ending gender violence(Presentation, 2025-02-03) Banda, Nelson; Akamandisa, Vincent; Farnworth, Cathy Rozel; Bailey, ArwenIn this conversation, Nelson Banda and Vincent Akamandisa, both of the Zambian National Men’s Network, share reflections on their considerable experience working with men and boys.

Intersectionality: A study on gender equality and social inclusion as part of the Climate Adaptive, Inclusive, Nature-based Aquaculture (CAINA) project in Malaysia(Presentation, 2024-07-29) Rajaratnam, Surendran; Yap, Tina; Bailey, ArwenInsights into integrating the principles of gender equality and intersectionality throughout the research process in a research project on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in aquaculture. Traditional aquaculture research often overlooks the diverse experiences of those involved. By incorporating gender and social inclusion, they aim to identify all stakeholders (i.e. women, men, youth, indigenous communities and marginalized groups) that play a role in NbS aquaculture. They use a gender equality and social inclusion lens to ensure a comprehensive stakeholder analysis. In addition, they identify the different needs and challenges of different stakeholders in NbS aquaculture. The discussion among expert participants ranged from principles for intersectional research with Indigenous peoples; to how to integrate biophysical, social and Indigenous knowledges; to the differences between social inclusion and intersectionality. Finally the discussions turned to methods that could be adopted in this research project. The group discussed the positive deviance approach, and Dimitra Clubs.Item Gender Transformative Methodologies CoP.
