The Participatory Research and Gender Analysis Program uses capacity building and collaborative research to disseminate sound use of methodologies and organisational innovations for gender-sensitive participatory research in the CGIAR Centers. The Program operationalises the use of participatory approaches, methodologies and organisational innovations in plant breeding and crop, livestock and natural resource management through three main areas: organisational innovation and partnership; collaborative empirical studies; capacity building and information dissemination.
The PRGA Program hopes to assess and develop methodologies and organisational innovations for gender-sensitive participatory research and to promote their use in plant breeding and in crop and natural resource management. Their website provides a good range of documents and resources in the area of rural technology development with participatory and gender-sensitive approaches.
