About us
About IFPRI The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) seeks sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty. IFPRI is one of 15 centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an alliance of 64 governments, private foundations, and international and regional organizations. IFPRI's Vision is a World Free of Hunger and Malnutrition.This vision is based on the human rights to adequate food and freedom from hunger, and the recognition of the dignity inherent in all human beings. IFPRI's Mission is to Provide Research-Based Policy Solutions That Sustainably Reduce Poverty and End Hunger and Malnutrition. IFPRI established the west and central Africa office (WCAO) in 2010 to better meet local research and capacity needs for reducing poverty and ending malnutrition in the region.Although the West and Central Africa region has experienced strong economic growth over the past 15 years, it faces challenges from increasing urbanization, a growing middle class, transforming agrifood systems, and the intensifying effects of climate change. WCAO is helping to address these pressing problems. It also supports the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and works with regional bodies such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and individual countries to provide evidence-based agricultural policy solutions and capacity-strengthening support. WCAO staff from two IFPRI research divisions: the Markets, Trade, and Institutions Division (MTID) and the Poverty, Health, and Nutrition Division (PHND). The following are highlights of the major research, capacity-strengthening, and policy-dialogue activities that IFPRI leads from WCAO.

Today is the United Nations International Day of #Rural_Women. Celebrated each year on October 15, this year’s theme is “Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for All.” Rural women play an essential role in the food systems of the world. However, they do not wield equal power with men, and as a result, they earn less income, have less access to resources and experience higher food insecurity. How can we help rural women secure their resource rights? This new blog looks at the Reach, Benefit, Empower, Transform (RBET) framework, a tool for advancing equity and empowerment for women.

Today is the United Nations International Day of Rural Women. Celebrated each year on October 15, this year’s theme is “Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for All.” Rural women play an essential role in the food systems of the world. However, they do not wield equal power with men, and as a result, they earn less income, have less access to resources and experience higher food insecurity. How can we help rural women secure their resource rights? This new blog by Ruth Meinzen-Dick and Anne Larson looks at the Reach, Benefit, Empower, Transform (RBET) framework, a tool for advancing equity and empowerment for women. Researchers applied the framework to efforts to strengthen women’s rights to natural resources—outlined in a new brief, From Reach to Transformation: Leveraging the RBET Framework to Secure Women’s Land & Resource Rights. The RBET framework prompts thinking about the kinds of goals, activities and indicators that would constitute each element of “reach, benefit, empower, and transform” for women’s resource rights in each of the four quadrants of the figure below: Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ei3wWERq CGIAR #RuralWomen
