Pathways to gender equality and empowerment, Sustainable Animal and Aquatic Foods: Setting the Science Agenda (2025–2030)

Abstract

The brief provides six pathways to enhance gender equality and women’s empowerment in CGIAR Sustainable Animal and Aquatic Foods (SAAF) Science Program. This brief offers Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) solutions which range from accommodative to transformative through norm changes. While accommodative gender solutions try to provide solutions within existing norms and cultures, in the long term, it is the transformative solutions which change societies for more equitable and inclusive gender outcomes. The brief goes beyond business as usual or gender mainstreaming approaches by setting an ambitious gender research agenda for the SAAF and related science programs.
