Description:

The project aims to improve the well-being of women and girls through evidence-based gender-sensitive policy and programming recommendations on sustaining and scaling up innovations for food and nutrition security. It reviews and learns from the experience of five sub-projects funded under the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF) Phase 2 project, with special attention to their sustainability and prospects for scaling up, as well as their positive impact on women’s empowerment and gender equality. Findings are disseminated to stakeholders of the five sub-projects, as well as to policy-makers in Canada, development partners, and governments of low- and middle-income countries. Data is collected through field visits to the CIFSRF sub-projects, interviews with sub-project leaders, and review of secondary material for other projects in the portfolio of the 18 sub-projects funded by CIFSRF.
