Data & Information Management Tools for the CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network

01/Jun/2016CGIAR Gender & Agriculture Network Webinar Series

Inventory of CGIAR Gender Studies

• Crowdsourced catalogue of gender research studies being carried out by CGIAR researchers.

• The idea came from the Gender Network Annual General meeting in Los Baños, Philippines in 2015

• Aims: • To provide an overview of gender research studies• To foster collaboration within the network• To aid in CGIAR reporting

Demo

What next

• Update existing gender studies with missing and more accurate information

• Crowdsource more studies from the CGIAR Gender and Agriculture network

• Create interesting visualizations of the CGIAR gender studies in the inventory

• Combine data with other spatially defined CGIAR research e.g. Sentinel Landscapes

• Create more linkages with ongoing open data/big data platforms being developed in the CGIAR

Gender and Agricultural Data Navigator

• Tool to support the Sex-Disaggregated data work for Gender Analysis being led by Cheryl Doss and Caitlin Kieran of CRP PIM led by IFPRI

• Searchable inventory of household questionnaires that focus on agriculture and food security and can be disaggregated by sex

• The inventory classifies each survey question as sex-disaggregated or not based on who responded and how the question was framed.

• It identifies whether each respondent is asked:1. Who in the household has various rights and responsibilities2. Questions about specific household members or all household members3. Questions about him or herself, or 4. Questions about men and women separately, but not specific individuals. If none of these approaches were used, then the information cannot be disaggregated by sex.

Gender and Agricultural Data Navigator

What I hope to achieve: • Get feedback on the usability of the tools and areas of improvement• Have the network support Cheryl and Caitlin in PIM to grow the catalogue

of sex-disaggregated survey questionnaires

What next

• Improve the tool with feedback from the Gender Network members• Network members to support further development of the tool led by PIM (Cheryl

and Caitlin) by adding more survey questionnaires to the inventory.• Link surveys to more related resources Publications, data etc.• Create a visual search tool of the same information
