    Making Qualitative Data Open Access: Guidance document for making qualitative data FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable - using the GENNOVATE case study
    (Report, 2024-12-15) Muchiri, C.; Lopez, D.E.; Kruseman, G.
    The effective management and sharing of qualitative data are critical to advancing research, fostering collaboration, and driving impact, especially in the context of addressing complex gender and social dynamics in agrifood systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). This document outlines guidelines for enabling qualitative data to adhere to the principles of FAIR—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—while respecting ethical considerations and the sensitivity of such data. The CGIAR Open Access Policy (2013) and the Open and FAIR Data Assets Policy (2021) emphasize that research and development outputs, including data, are international public goods. These policies underscore the importance of disseminating and utilizing data to benefit agrifood system actors in LMICs. Open access or FAIR data enhances the speed, efficiency, efficacy and interdisciplinarity of research, while fostering novel insights and contributing to global knowledge. The need for FAIR qualitative gender research data, that provides deeper insights into lived experiences, gender roles, social norms, power relations, and inequalities, is especially urgent. As highlighted in the FAO Status of Women in Agrifood Systems (2023), closing gender gaps and tackling structural inequalities require high-quality, data disaggregated by gender and intersectional axes of differentiation. Yet, significant gaps persist in the availability of both quantitative and qualitative data. By following the principles and recommendations laid out in these guidelines, researchers can ensure their qualitative data is not only accessible and reusable but also instrumental in driving equitable and sustainable development outcomes in agricultural research for development (AR4D).

    Gender and Climate Change Vulnerability Hotspot Mapping in Agriculture, Water and Energy Sector for Decision Support in Uganda
    (Brief, 2023-12) African Group of Negociators Experts Support; Bill and Melinda Gates Fundation
    The granular gender and climate change vulnerability hotspot mapping for decision support study in Uganda reveals sub-national level gendered climate vulnerabilities that require policy intervention to build community resilience to the impacts of climate change in the three sectors of agriculture, water and energy.

    Six practical steps to support women farmers to drive climate resilience
    (Blog Post, 2022-11-04) Mishra, Avni; Gadeberg, Marianne
    Women and girls are burdened with a disproportionate share of the negative impacts of climate change, but they can also play key roles in climate change adaptation if solutions are designed to work for them. Women and men are affected by climate change impacts in different ways and have different opportunities and abilities to respond. Climate change adaptation and mitigation actions, policies and investments must take such differences into account to be successful. A climate change solution that does not work for women is not a climate change solution. In advance of COP27, we have identified six practical steps, based on past research from CGIAR and beyond, that governments, development partners and private sector investors must take to support women farmers to respond to climate change and drive resilience for everyone.

    Bragging, shirking, and hiding: Spousal disagreement among Ugandan maize farmers
    (Working Paper, 2021-05-04) Van Campenhout, Bjorn; Lecoutere, Els; Spielman, David J.
    To gain a better understanding of intrahousehold bargaining processes, surveys increasingly collect data from co-heads individually. Answers provided by spouses on the same set of questions often differ substantially, alternately attributed to measurement error, poor framing within the cultural context that leads to systematic biases, or other common challenges associated with surveys. However, recent studies suggest that differences in responses from co-heads may also be caused by spouses strategically hiding information from each other. Using detailed data on a large sample of monogamous smallholder maize-farming households in eastern Uganda, we document response patterns from household co-heads related to decision-making, labor time, and sales of farm output. We ask each spouse questions about themselves, but also about their spouse, and compare responses. We also implement two interventions to test if such spousal disagreement in reporting can be reduced by increasing cooperation between spouses and reducing information asymmetries.

    Effective food system innovations: An evidence map
    (Website, 2021) Lecoutere, Els; Berg, Marrit van den; Brauw, Alan de
    This interactive evidence map presents an inventory of evidence of the effects of different types of food system innovations targeting the food environment and consumers on diets and nutrition related outcomes along the pathways of change in the food environment and among consumers. The inventory includes 150 studies with evidence primarily for Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Vietnam. These countries represent a population of over 600 million people and a range of diet and (sub)-national food system contexts at various stages of food system transformation and urbanization.

    Promoting inclusivity and equity in information and communications technology for food, land, and water systems
    (Report, 2021-09) Ng, Michelle; Haan, Nicoline C. de; King, Brian; Langan, Simon J.
    Food, land, and water systems underpin the health of societies and the environment, yet they are facing pressure from climate change, population growth, urbanization, and the overexploitation of natural resources. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have the potential to support food, land, and water systems in response to these challenges. This report explores issues of inclusivity and equity of ICTs and how these technologies might be better used to their full potential.
