Why Participatory Research and Gender Analysis?

If agricultural research is to achieve impact that benefits poor people, it is vital that farmers participate directly in technology development. The participation of women is especially important, because their access to appropriate technology has a critical effect on household food security and on the well-being of children. The CGIAR System-wide Program for Participatory Research and Gender analysis, known more simply as the PRGA Program, was established in 1997 to raise the profile of participation and gender as key strategic research issues.

The Program works with international and national agricultural research institutes, non-governmental organizations and academic institutions to support the process of establishing scientific partnerships with the rural poor, with an emphasis on the involvement of women. Emerging evidence shows that the involvement of users in technology development results in innovations that better suit their needs and improve their livelihoods.

The PRGA Program's work has built a body of evidence that shows that these methods are delivering broad impact by producing technologies and resource-management options that are well suited to end-users' needs, thus significantly reducing the possibility of farmers rejecting newly developed technologies. In addition, participatory research is producing "process impacts," resulting in, for example, increased human and social capital, which is essential to the sustainability of rural development and innovation. Among those who benefit most from the implementation of these approaches is the very poor, especially women, and marginal groups, who are often overlooked by conventional research. Finally, the PRGA Program has demonstrated how gender-sensitive participatory research can be cost-efficient, because of its increased impact and shortened time to produce relevant technologies.

The accomplishments of the PRGA Program during Phase 1 can be summarized as follows.

• Assessed the global state-of-the-art and emerging issues in participatory research and gender analysis.
• Enabled the scientific use of participatory research and gender analysis.
• Provided support and engaged in cutting-edge research.
• Fostered community of knowledge and practice.
• Conducted rigorous evaluation of impacts.

Goal and Objective

The goal of the PRGA Program is to alleviate poverty, improve food security, and protect the environment with greater equity by improving the ability of the CGIAR centers and collaborating institutions to use participatory research and gender analysis as scientific tools.

Our objective is to assess, develop and promote methods and organizational innovations for gender-sensitive participatory research, and to mainstream their use in plant breeding and in crop and natural resource management.

Building on these key lessons, the major goal and focus for Phase 2 of the PRGA Program (2003-2007) is to mainstream gender analysis and equitable participatory research to promote learning and change in CG Centers and national agricultural research systems (NARS) so that they can better target the demands of beneficiary groups, particularly poor rural women.

In order to achieve this goal, the PRGA Program will adopt a renewed focus on developing capacity and action research for mainstreaming; a continued emphasis on assessing impacts for institutional learning and change; and, a continuously evolving partnership and communication strategy.

Mainstreaming refers to the following activities: (a) capacity development for gender analysis, participatory research, impact assessment and organizational development; (b) establishing a cadre of change agents versed in gender analysis, participatory research, impact assessment, and organizational development skills, who are networked for support and exchange of experiences; (c) establishing internal working groups to facilitate adaptation of organizational structures and practices to initiate a demand-driven agenda within their organizations; (d) access to a high-level external support group that represents the interests of clients, particularly poor rural women, and functions as a body to ensure accountability for instituting the demand-driven agenda in participating institutions. (Took from Summary, 2004, page 1).

Project objective

Mainstreaming gender analysis and equitable participatory research to promote learning and change in CG Centers and NARS, so that they can better target the demands of beneficiary groups, particularly poor rural women.

Program Strategy

Program strategy for mainstreaming gender and equitable participatory research

Definition

Mainstreaming is a process of assessing the implications of any planned action, including legislation, policies and programs, in any area and at all levels of the organization. In terms of agricultural research and development organizations, it is a strategy for making the concerns and experiences of beneficiary groups, such as poor rural women and men, an integral part of the research-for-development design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation process, so that women and men from all social, ethnic and income groups benefit equally, and inequality is not perpetuated.

Mainstreaming entails identifying the need for changes in the way in which research or innovation is organized and managed. It may require changes in the organization's goals, strategies, and actions, so that beneficiaries can influence, participate in, and benefit from the research-for-development process. The ultimate goal of mainstreaming is to achieve a demand-driven research process through a process of organizational learning and change.

Key lessons

The key lesson that emerged from the experiences of Phase 1 of the PRGA Program, consultations with important stakeholders, and demands generated from partner institutions (particularly the NARS) is the importance of, and need for, mainstreaming gender in agricultural research and development through organizational learning and change.

Objectives

Hence, the major purpose is to improve the competencies of the collaborating institutions, in both the CG system and the NARS, for enhanced use of gender analysis and equitable participatory research methods, as well as skills to mainstream them in plant breeding and natural-resource management research through the process of learning and change.

The basic principles of mainstreaming are:

• Responsibility and support for implementing the mainstreaming strategy is system-wide, and rests at the highest levels of the organization;
• Adequate accountability mechanisms for monitoring progress need to be put in place;
• The assumption that research and development practices are conducted in a neutral environment from a stakeholder-beneficiary equality perspective should never be made;
• Gender analysis and equitable participatory research are crucial to counter this;
• Clear political will and allocation of adequate resources for mainstreaming (including additional financial and human resources if necessary) are important for the translation of the concept into practice;
• Mainstreaming gender analysis and equitable participatory research requires that efforts be made to broaden stakeholder-beneficiary's equitable participation at all levels of the research-for-development decision-making process;
• Mainstreaming does not replace the need for targeted conventional biophysical research-gender-analysis and equitable participatory research processes need to complement and support traditional research processes.

Program strategy for gender analysis

Definition
The use of gender analysis as a research tool is basic to technology development that is aimed at alleviating poverty of severely disadvantaged social groups, especially in the case of poor rural women. However, the PRGA Program acknowledges that, in order for gender analysis to be effective as a method, it cannot be separated from a focus on equity issues in the workplace. Mainstreaming gender analysis includes enhancing capacity for assessing social relations that affect technology development. Equally, it includes a focus on factors that affect organizational transformations reflecting equitable and participatory principles in the workplace.

Key lessons
Three key lessons that emerged from the experiences in Phase 1, input from PRGA Program stakeholders, and demands of partner institutions are:

• That there is little attention to gender analysis, particularly in the CGIAR system;
• There is an unmet need for capacity development in gender analysis;

• There is increasing demand, particularly from NARS, for skill to mainstream gender analysis.

Objectives
The PRGA Program's gender-analysis objective can be stated in the following three ways.

• To promote and enhance the use of gender analysis, not only to understand the implications of women's existing roles and responsibilities in agriculture and natural-resource management for technology development and institutional innovation, but also to identify new opportunities for innovation that involve a concomitant change in women's status.

• Focus on developing capacity for mainstreaming gender analysis through organizational change.

• Initiate a process of learning and change, both with its partners and within the Program itself through assessing impacts at two levels:
  - the extent to which gender analysis and user involvement in the research process has been achieved and what impact they have had, and
  - assessing the impact of mainstreaming gender analysis through organizational change.

These will be achieved through capacity building, mentoring, building strategic partnerships with selected CG Centers and NARS, and developing networks of "change agents" to support each other and provide support to others.

The PRGA Program itself should be an example of gender-sensitive stakeholder participation in its own organizational structure and functions, in order to serve as a "learning lab." Gender-sensitive stakeholder representation is sought in all the PRGA Program's collaborative partnerships at all levels-from the Advisory Board that advises and guides management to the formation of stakeholder committees in projects receiving small grants.

Program strategy for impact assessment of participatory research and gender analysis

Definition
Compelling evidence of the impact of using participatory approaches is the only way that scientists and research managers can make a sound judgment whether or not to incorporate these approaches into their research. In this context, impact assessment is a process that documents changes in the lives of rural people, as perceived by them and their partners at the time of evaluation; impact assessment also documents the sustainability-enhancing changes in their environment to which the project has contributed. These changes can be positive or negative, intended or unintended.

Key lessons
While the impacts of participatory research have been frequently recorded, the differential effect of using participatory in contrast to other approaches has rarely been systematically analyzed and documented; neither has the effect of using various types of participation during different stages in the research process. The PRGA Program has developed and applied tools for empirical impact studies in both participatory plant breeding and participatory natural-resource management research. The findings suggest that higher degrees of farmer involvement and control in the research process yield higher levels of empowerment, give voice to farmers' technology priorities (including women's priorities), speed technology adaptation, increase human capital, boost adoption, and have positive impacts on farmer profits. There is also empirical evidence that participatory research reduces the research costs through the early discarding of technologies that are not adopted by intended users.

Objectives
The goal of the PRGA Program's impact assessment is to provide compelling evidence of the impact of gender-sensitive participatory research and to enhance the usefulness of impact assessment as a tool for institutional learning and change.

Through collaborative action research, the PRGA Program and its partners will:

• Develop original impact-assessment frameworks tailored to the particularities of assessing the impact of participatory methods, and develop tools that improve the information resulting from impact assessment in order to facilitate institutional learning and change processes;

• Conduct several collaborative empirical studies applying these frameworks and tools to measure the impact of participatory research, as well as to measure how well research and development organizations have been able to learn and change as a result of their experiences in participatory research and gender analysis;

• Build capacity through networking for mutual support and learning among the users of participatory methods.

Program strategy for capacity development

Definition
Developing capacity to use gender analysis and participatory approaches is basic to technology development, and therefore will benefit disadvantaged rural groups, particularly women. Equally, capacity development must enhance knowledge and skills for assessing the impact of these methods, so as to bring about an organizational process of learning and change to mainstream the use of gender analysis and participatory approaches.

The major themes and focus areas for capacity development are:

• Gender analysis concepts and methods;

• Research approaches built on the sound use of gender analysis and equitable participatory approaches;

• Concepts, methods, skills and tools for mainstreaming gender analysis and equitable participatory research through organizational change;

• Methods, tools and procedures for impact assessment, participatory monitoring and evaluation for institutional learning and change.

Key lessons
One of the main lessons from the first phase of the PRGA Program was that many researchers have some conceptual understanding of social or gender issues, but feel at a loss as to how to practically implement participatory research and gender-analysis practices in the field, and in a socio-culturally appropriate manner. Participatory research and gender analysis are not learned overnight or in one short training program. There is a need to continually build skills and practice over a period of time, and provide support and inputs to an iterative learning process, which includes challenges and difficulties along the way.

There is a great diversity of culture and language among the partners of the PRGA Program. Societal, cultural, religious and language differences abound, and, while there may be opportunities for cross-cultural learning among these groups, there are also advantages to training programs that are socio-culturally relevant and in a common language. Efforts to build a socio-culturally appropriate training program can help build a favorable environment for sharing and learning, as well as have more cultural relevance in discussing social or gender issues and methods.

Objectives
The PRGA Program's objectives for capacity development are:

• To build and enhance the capacity of researchers in partner institutions in the CGIAR and NARS to practically apply gender analysis and participatory research to agricultural and natural-resource management research, and to mainstream these approaches in their institutions;
• To support partners in developing approaches and methodologies suitable to their regional contexts;
• To develop appropriate training processes and materials;
• To develop or enhance peer-support and networking among researchers who use these methods, from among partner institutions in the CGIAR and NARS.

 Partnership Strategy

A special task force at the Systemwide Planning Meeting in 1996 developed the guiding priniciples behind the PRGA's partnership strategy: These are:
Promotion of decentralized partnerships among International Agricultural Research Centers (IARCs), National Agricultural Research Institutes (NARIs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and Governmental Organizations (GOs).

• Gradual introduction of methods into ongoing plant breeding and natural resource management projects, consistent with their priorities
• Emphasis on synergistic horizontal arrangements where collaborative advantage is achieved by working together to accomplish what no organization can do on its own.
• The principles for partnership adopted by the Program include:
  · Compelling, shared vision and sense of purpose
  · Strong, skillful, shared leadership that purposely seeks to create collaborative advantage
  · Shared problem definition and approach
  · Shared guidelines for using methodologies and organization innovations based on comparisons across agro-socioeconomic environments, technologies and user groups
  · Common learning process derived from sharing global experiences
  · Power equity Interdependency and complementarity
  · Cost-effective divisions of labour as a result of joint research and development capacity
  · Mutual accountability
  · Building upon ongoing IARC research to the extent possible, with co-financing by the Program when partner institutions agree to contribute at least 50 percent of the resources required for collaborative activities

• International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)
• International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)

CIAT is responsible for oversight of the Program, and serves as the Program's convening Center.

Each CGIAR Center has a Liaison to the PRGA.

The research program outlined above is accomplished through a strategy of decentralized partnerships among practitioners of participatory research. These include international centers, national institutes, NGOs, and grassroots organizations. Together with donors, they form the PPB and PNRM working groups and are the principal stakeholders of the Program, bringing together experience from the biophysical and social sciences. During stakeholder meetings, the groups take part in developing and refining their workplans, which have included such activities as organizing scientific workshops, providing capacity building in innovative methods, participating in strategic panels and evaluation teams, co-editing and contributing to a book on innovative approaches in the field, and developing codes of conduct and best practice.
