| Summary: | The PRGA is currently implementing its phase
III (2008-2012), however, the key factors
that underpinned the Program’s work at the
beginning of Phase II (2003–2007) still apply
today:
§A majority of agricultural research systems,
including in the CG System, still lack a critical
mass of participatory-research and genderanalysis
practitioners
§There is still little recognition or practice of
gender analysis
§There is still an unmet demand for capacity
development in gender-analysis and
participatory-research methods
§Learning and change need to be
institutionalized, so that participatory research
and gender analysis can be mainstreamed in
agricultural R&D thinking and practice.
The strategic platform for Phase III focuses
on three overarching thematic areas:
(1) Climate change; (2) Food security,
building on the Program’s traditional research
areas of plant breeding and natural-resources
research; and (3) Supporting actions for
gender mainstreaming.
