Description

The first hour of this workshop will focus on GenderUp, a conversational method that supports innovation teams in gender responsible scaling in small scale agriculture. GenderUp is an important tool for researchers for development and small-scale innovators to incorporate as they scale an agricultural technology. A key result of GenderUp is a more gender-aware and socially responsible scaling strategy, which includes mitigating activities and complementary innovations. The second hour will provide examples of gender-aware scaling strategies, including gender-focused farmer field schools and socially transformative approaches to rural financial services.
