The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR), in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), are collecting innovative and promising approaches that:
(a) promote access to and uptake of technologies by both women and men small-scale farmers in developing countries (with a particular focus on women);
(b) recognize/promote the critical role of farmers, both women and men, as key innovators in shaping/influencing research agendas to ensure that technologies are developed to respond to their needs (with a particular focus on women); and/or
(c) promote/facilitate the link between (a) and (b).
We would be grateful if you could share interventions, experiences and approaches that target small-scale farmers (in particular women farmers) and illustrate (a), (b) or (c), regardless of scale. Please provide your input in English, French or Spanish by answering the questions in the attached template. If you have more than one experience to share, kindly use a separated form for each. Please also provide any additional information, such as relevant reports, evaluations and other documents.
Kindly send your input by April 20th, 2011 to: Kirsten Mathieson (kirsten.mathieson@fao.org) and Catherine Ragasa (C.Ragasa@cgiar.org).
