PRGA Program Annual Report and Annual Report Summary 2008
Written by Administrator Tuesday, 28 April 2009 06:26
The PRGA Program remained in a state of transition throughout 2008. It was not until November, that we welcomed a new Program Coordinator (Patricia Biermayr-Jenzano) on board. Consequently, a number of activities planned for the year simply didn’t happen, as we were short on staff, and the Program structure remains in draft form for want of those who will guide it forward.
The Program coorganized (with ILAC Initiative and ILRI’s Innovation Works) an international workshop on Rethinking Impact: Understanding the Complexity of Poverty and Change, held at CIAT Headquarters in March. This workshop produced a mass of useful material and excellent networking opportunities for the participants.
The year also saw the completion of the first comprehensive gender audit conducted by the Program—of CIAT. This is the first step along the road to having gender mainstreamed in research and the workplace.
2008 also saw the end of the Program’s support to ASARECA in the form of the Gender Project Support Person, who continued to help guide the Association and its constituent NARS along a gender-mainstreaming path.
We look forward to 2009 with renewed hope. Our new Coordinator has an uphill task to consolidate the lessons of the last 12 years, while fundraising to fulfill the promise of the future.
