According to the CGIAR’s Strategy and Results Framework, “gender inequality and its ramifications in terms of lower female education, women’s lack of land rights, inequitable access to both income and agricultural inputs within the household, associated lack of control over investment decisions in the farm household, and the larger labor burden borne by women, all fundamentally constrain the ability to meet [its goals]” of reducing poverty, strengthening food security, improving human health and nutrition, and enhancing sustainable management of natural resources. Without considering the role of gender, critical components necessary for the design and evaluation of programs, policies, and technologies may be missed, rendering them less successful and less likely to benefit both men and women. In order to monitor progress of CGIAR on its agreed outcome of “Increased control over resources and participation in decision-making by women and other marginalized groups” as well as other development outcomes such as improvements in income, productivity, nutrition, and resilience, CGIAR researchers are increasingly asked to collect sex-disaggregated data and conduct gender analyses. This document spells out some simple and achievable steps for collecting relevant sex-disaggregated data for five broad research areas.
