CGIAR Climate
Visit to Western Kenya discussing changes in the climate and weather with men and women farmers
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) is right now testing an upcoming Practitioner’s Guide for gender and social research. The guide, to be released later this year, includes several participatory action research modules. This session looked at how men and women perceive changes related to the climate, including rainfall, crop production and livestock management for the past 10 years during out time together.
The idea with this particular participatory session is to pick up on gender differences between the two groups and find out if there are specific roles and responsibilities related to gender, gender-differences in perception on climatic changes, and who introduces and decides upon new agricultural practices in the household.
