CGIAR Systemwide Program on Participatory Research and Gender Analysis (PRGA Prgoram). 2000. Women and agricultural technology: report of a preliminary search for nodes of information and literature. CGIAR Systemwide Program on Participatory Research and Gender Analysis, Cali, Colombia.This report collates the existing sources of information on women and technology including organisations and programs, web sources, networks, databases, bibliographies, and literature. The purpose is to see what has been done to date to help enhance poor women's access to agricultural technologies that take into account their specific production responsibilities. The next step from here is to delve deeper into these sources of information to see what they offer by way of current analyses, at a global level, of the needs of poor women for agricultural technologies. In this way it will be possible to identify gaps, and to assess what needs to be done by the international research community.

Aviles, D. December 2008. Cali-Colombia. Resumen Ejecutivo, Versión en Español. Traducción al Español realizada por la Consultora Sophie Alvarez. El programa PRGA reconoció la importancia de los asuntos de género y la necesidad de integrarlos en la investigación en agricultura y desarrollo durante su primera fase (1997–2002). Durante la segunda fase (2003–2007), el Programa respaldó procesos de integración de la perspectiva de género en ocho programas nacionales en África Central y del Este (todos parte de ASARECA), Cosecha Urbana y CIP, y redes de mujeres en Asia (más que todo en los Himalayas del este). La primera Revisión Externa del Programa (Walker et al., 2007) elogió la labor en integración de la perspectiva de género y recomendó que el Programa “debe acelerar sus esfuerzos en introducir el análisis de género a nivel del Sistema CGIAR.” El Plan de Mediano Plazo 2008–2010 del Programa PRGA construye sobre estas experiencias y la Revisión Externa, y específicamente contempla cinco acciones de respaldo para integración de la perspectiva de género en los centros CG; una de estas acciones apunta al fortalecimiento de capacidades dentro del centro huésped del PRGA, CIAT.

Aviles, D. December 2008. The PRGA Program acknowledged the importance of gender issues and the need to mainstream them in agricultural research and development during its first phase (1997–2002). During its second phase (2003–2007), the Program supported gender mainstreaming processes in eight national programs in Eastern and Central Africa (all part of ASARECA), Urban Harvest and CIP, and women’s networks in Asia (mostly in the eastern Himalayas). The First External Review of the Program (Walker et al., 2007) commended the work on gender mainstreaming and recommended that the Program “should accelerate its efforts to introduce gender analysis into the wider CGIAR System.” The PRGA Program Medium-Term Plan 2008–2010 builds on these experiences and on the External Review, and specifically contemplates five supporting actions for gender mainstreaming in the CG Centers; one of them aims at building advanced capacity within the PRGA’s host Center, CIAT.

Aviles, D. December 2008. Cali, Colombia. Executive Summary. The PRGA Program acknowledged the importance of gender issues and the need to mainstream them in agricultural research and development during its first phase (1997–2002). During its second phase (2003–2007), the Program supported gender mainstreaming processes in eight national programs in Eastern and Central Africa (all part of ASARECA), Urban Harvest and CIP, and women’s networks in Asia (mostly in the eastern Himalayas). The First External Review of the Program (Walker et al., 2007) commended the work on gender mainstreaming and recommended that the Program “should accelerate its efforts to introduce gender analysis into the wider CGIAR System.” The PRGA Program Medium-Term Plan 2008–2010 builds on these experiences and on the External Review, and specifically contemplates five supporting actions for gender mainstreaming in the CG Centers; one of them aims at building advanced capacity within the PRGA’s host Center, CIAT.

During the Program's First External Review (2006–07), it was agreed that work on gender mainstreaming should be continued, but with a renewed focus on gender mainstreaming within the CGIAR. To achieve this, the Program should develop close, mutually-supportive links with the Gender and Diversity (G&D) Program, as well as other task forces at various Centers working in gender research within the CGIAR System.
