Climate services can be a critical means of resiliency-building for smallholder farmers; however, due to gender-related factors, women and men can face differing challenges and opportunities to access climate-related information, use it to improve management, and benefit from improved management decisions. To ensure equal distribution of benefits and promote gender equality, it is critical that food security and climate-resiliency initiatives take into account gender considerations, from the earliest planning stages. Yet concrete guidance on how to integrate gender equality in climate services may be lacking.

The webinar will address this knowledge gap and provide important capacity building by presenting guidance materials recently developed on gender-responsive climate services. These include recommendations for gender-sensitive communication channels, impact pathways for achieving gender equality objectives, and guidelines for gender inclusive monitoring and evaluation.

This webinar is organized by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and hosted by the CGIAR Collaborative Platform for Gender Research.
