The Enabling global gains towards gender equality, youth and social inclusion in agri-food systems strategic dialogue took place earlier today. To achieve resilience in food systems, everyone player has to be involved including women and youth. The gender gap is still very much wide and deliberate efforts and collaborations are needed to close it. My takeaways from today's session are; 👍Acknowledge the #youth as able persons willing to participate in transformation of #foodsystems 💪Empower #women and include them in decision-making and ensure #equal economic gains from agriculture. ⚒️Dismantle structural barriers in #policies, #culture and institutions that perpetuate #gender and #youth #inequality.

The CGIAR GENDER Accelerator held a successful strategy dialogue at the ongoing #CGIARScienceWeek highlighting the urgent need to address gender, youth and inclusion gaps in food, land and water systems and how we will lead the way in closing these gaps CGIAR EMD Ismahane Elouafi highlighted that inequalities hold everyone back and when women and marginalized groups lack access, agricultural productivity drops, resilience weakens, and communities become more vulnerable to shocks, resulting in less food and nutrition security, more poverty, and less resilient and sustainable food systems. Our Interim Director Nicoline de Haan showcased the road map for the Accelerator. "Can we get cutting edge technology into the hands of women and co-design them so that we know what they need?" Nicoline further highlighted how we need to pay close attention to the youth and set the up for success right now. H.E Nosipho Jezile Chair of the Committee on World Food Security added that we need concrete ways to strengthen youth and young people participation in food systems. She also called for the address to structural drivers of inequality and strengthening of accountability mechanisms. " It is not enough to have policy and guidelines and not implement them ." - She added. International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Vice President Santiago Alba-Corral added to the wise words that "the gender gap cannot be reduced by only providing policy, training, tools, unless we think about part of the gap that is connected to privilege and that is a very difficult conversation and part of the conversation that we tend to forget" CGIAR researchers showcased great examples of gender responsive solutions. Maureen Miruka highlighted how we can integrate gender into breeding programmes, Dr Eileen Bogweh Nchanji on how we can bundle innovations for women's empowerment and Alessandra Galie' making the case for gender transformative research with example of from chicken farming in Ghana. Closing the session in a panel of experts including Nana Yaa Boakyewaa Amoah, AnnaKarin Norling, Lisa H., Oscar E. Ortiz and Jackline Makokha called for change in culture and a better communication of gender to show women as agents of change and not victims. CGIAR Chief Scientist Sandra Milach highlighted 3 things critical for the success of the new Accelerator- evidence to show the power that we have in food systems and the entry points of interventions; incentives working with policy programmes; and engagement of leadership at all levels including youth, community and national levels.
