The CGIAR GENDER Platform has recently announced three recipients of its research grants to integrate women’s empowerment and nutrition methods and tools in CGIAR research (the ‘WEAI-nutrition learning grants’).
Under the Platform’s Methods Module, each grantee will receive up to USD 100,000 for a 15-month project aimed at strengthening capacity to use rigorous methods and tools to comparably measure women’s empowerment and nutrition impacts across CGIAR. The primary goals of these research grants are to help integrate women’s empowerment and nutrition more effectively into the design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of CGIAR and partners’ investment portfolios, and build a thriving community of practice among the users of the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) as well as nutrition methods and tools.
