Results from the gender capacity assessment shows, in general, that development and research organizations lack the knowledge and skills to integrate gender into their agricultural programs. Addressing gender-inequity in agriculture will require increased investment in skills and knowledge for value chain actors and enablers. In order to validate the results, a feedback session was conducted with each assessed partner organization with the objectives: to provide feedback on the results of the gender capacity assessment and collect comments on the outcomes of the assessment (what do partners agree with / not); to identify intervention points based on partners’ priorities that could be used to develop a gender capacity development (CD) plan for each partner with clear objectives, activities, expected results, indicators, roles/responsibilities, and a budget; to form a gender CD committee & select focal persons who will facilitate and coordinate the organization’s gender CD plan and ensure exchange of information and documentation.
