Agricultural development research aims to generate new knowledge
or to retrieve and apply existing forms of knowledge in ways that
can be used to improve the welfare of people who are living in
poverty or are otherwise excluded, for instance by gender-based
discrimination. Its effective application therefore requires
ongoing dialogue with and the strong engagement of men and women
from poor marginal farming communities.
This book discusses opportunities afforded by effective
knowledge pathways linking researchers and farmers, underpinned by
participatory research and gender analysis. It sets out practices
and debates in gender-sensitive participatory research and
technology development, concentrating on the empirical issues of
implementation, impact assessment, and institutionalisation of
approaches for the wider development and research community. It
includes six full-length chapters and eight brief practical notes
and is enhanced by an annotated resources list of relevant
publications, organisations, and websites adding to the portfolio
of approaches and tools discussed by the contributors. Most of the
33 contributing authors work in the specialised agencies that form
part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural
Research (CGIAR).
This book was published as a special issue of Development in
Practice.
