Designing for change through “reflecting and doing”: the CGIAR Community of Practice on Gender- Transformative Research Methodologies por López, Diana E., Bailey, Arwen, Farnworth, Cathy Rozel, Rietveld, Anne, Gartaula, Hom Nath

“…It advances the emerging CGIAR Community of Practice on Gender Transformative Research Methodologies (GTRM-CoP) as a case study to explore the potential of CoPs as social learning systems that create the conditions for transformation-oriented learning. Driven by an ethos of reflecting and doing anchored in critical and feminist principles and social learning praxis, the GTRM-CoP aims to be a safe space to spur reflexivity, creativity and collaboration to support existing work on gender transformation in CGIAR while re-imagining how gender in AR4D is conceptualized, negotiated and advanced. …”

Navigating the politics and processes of food systems transformation: Guidance from a holistic framework por Béné, Christophe, Abdulai, Abdul-Rahim

“…Three critical lessons emerge from this: first, the transformation (of food systems) must be normative, deliberate and goal-oriented—as opposed to driven by technological innovations; second, the process must account for, integrate, and build on the multi-dimensional and multi-procedural nature of the politics that drive (or resist) changes; and third, the transformation needs to build on a strong driving environment, one that transforms not just food systems but also their governance.…”
