On May 14 the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and International Food Policy Ressearch Institute (IFPRI) organized a workshop entitled "What’s the Fuss about Gender?  Worksop on exploring new evidence and implications for policy and development". 

On May 14 a diverse group of researchers, practitioners and policymakers, all focusing on gender in the context of climte change, came together to share their research results and discussing the implications of these findings for gender and agriculture research, policy, and programming.  

The event was open, so as to hear community of practitioners as well, so that we together can move forward on addressing issues of gender and climate change.
