Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) have jointly developed the Training
Guide for Gender and Climate Change Research in Agriculture and Food Security
for Rural Development. |

Training Guide:
The
Training Guide Includes:
- using field-based research in their work to respond to
the impacts of climate change,
- preparing for future climate risks and impacts of
climate change; and/or
- modifying agricultural practices to reduce
contributions to climate change.
The Training Guide:
- sensitizes users to the links between socio-economic
and gender issues in the context of climate change in the agriculture and
food security sectors;
- develops the capacity of users to utilize participatory
action research tools in gathering socio-economic and gender-sensitive
information for climate change research and development;
- helps users understand how to analyse field research
outputs in a field research setting; and
- encourages users to apply knowledge gained beyond
research to promote gender-sensitive adaptation and mitigation activities
in agriculture.
The Training Guide is divided into three parts.
Each part contains different modules. The individual parts can be
downloaded separately as can the individual modules.

Part II addresses three particular research topics that are priorities of the
CCAFS program: climate analogues, weather information and climate-smart
agriculture. It also provides important information on how to rigorously
implement research tools, use a sampling strategy and think about analysis and
reporting on the findings from the beginning of study planning. Part
II includes modules 4-7.
