Abstract/Description
Every year since its establishment in 1983, CTA has implemented women specific development activities. In 2003, CTA adopted its first gender strategy, which also provided the Centre’s first “formal” gender approach to agriculture and rural development. Since 2003, however, CTA has implemented three consecutive centre-wide Strategic Plans and has made various internal adjustments. Moreover, the external environment in the field that CTA operates in continues to change and grow at a fast rate. This strategy is a roadmap towards making CTA’s operational theory of change and programmes as well as internal corporate structure and organization gender sensitive. It will also help facilitate gender mainstreaming in all aspects of CTA and its work. The practical steps in which the identified key objectives and progress markers can be achieved will be the treated in a separate “tool kit”/implementation guideline.
