    Mapping Climate-Agriculture-Gender Inequity Hotspots to Build Resilience
    (Blog Post, 2022-03-28) Mishra, Avni; Lecoutere, Els; Puskur, Ranjitha; Koo, Jawoo; Azzarri, Carlo
    In many cases, women are more vulnerable to adverse climate change impacts, due to their limited asset ownership, such as land, as well as more reduced access to capital, labor and agricultural inputs. Women also have more limited access to information, which, in turn, means lower awareness and knowledge of climate risks and strategies to manage them. Social norms and gender roles in many countries limit women’s participation in strategic decision-making in their households and communities, making them less able to participate in and affect group activities, access extension services or adopt new practices and technologies. Overall, their capacity to respond to climate stress is lower. However, this generic knowledge of women’s vulnerabilities to adverse climate change effects limits policy action. More granular knowledge on women’s involvement in agriculture and on how their involvement is affected by climate stresses is needed to support adaptation responses. To this end, we studied 87 low- to middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to understand different climate change risks as well as impacts on women engaged in agriculture. We defined climate-agriculture-gender inequity hotspots as areas where large numbers of women participate in agriculture and food production and where extreme climate hazards can trigger crop failure, pest and disease outbreaks, and degradation of land and water resources.

    Terms of Reference for Conducting a Situational Analysis of Climate and Gender Inequity Hotspots
    (Internal Document, 2022) CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform
    The CGIAR GENDER Platform through the Evidence Module wishes to engage a partner organisation to conduct a situational analysis of gender inequality, gender dynamics, agricultural and food system transformation, and challenges related to climate change using methods and indicators proposed by the GENDER Platform team for selected regions in Bangladesh and Zambia that have been identified as climate-gender inequity hotspots. Additionally, the partner organisation will be expected to list a number of interventions in these regions by research or development projects/programs/organizations, ideally ongoing, soon to be launched, or towards the end in the design stage, which offer an opportunity to combine gender transformative interventions and experimentally test the options to optimise gender equality and food system outcomes. The partner organisation will work closely with the GENDER Platform team during this process. This Terms of Reference details the said assignment and outlines the requirements for the application.
