Module 01: Integrating Gender in Policy Research and Outreach
Summary
This training consists of two parts: (1) review of a recording of the February 6, 2020 webinar by Ruth Meinzen-Dick and Elizabeth Bryan of IFPRI on integrating gender in policy research and outreach; and (2) a live Zoom session with plenary discussions and breakout rooms on June 9, 2020.
Prior to the live Zoom session, participants were asked to use the concepts and tools from the webinar recording and other knowledge they had developed regarding gender integration to reflect upon how they and their team could apply these lessons learned to better integrate gender in their PRCI research and outreach project, and in their work more broadly.
