A gender-sensitive intervention did not impact women's empowerment. We consider why.

What do we know about #gender & agricultural insurance?
* few products are designed to reach & benefit ♀️

I was lucky that our local RAs looked out for me & got me out to the city. Field work isn't fun & games even though I learned so much from it. I was always conscious of power differentials as a more educated person, but also my vulnerability as a woman in the field. 2/2

I've had some scares doing field work as a young woman in my own country, the Philippines (obv years ago). I had to escape my host family in the village bc one of the sons (with guns) took a liking to me. Once had to deal with incipient armed rebellion & ambushes. 1/2

What would be a good place for a PhD or further career growth within the #gender, #agriculture and #innovations nexus? What are good PhD programs in this area? Is a PhD a valid pathway for policy related work? Asking for an early career colleague!

#proWEAI has a collective author team but is this enough? How should we be pushing the boundaries for equitable authorship?

A very important editorial for those of us working in intl development. We need to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. I'm all for #equitableauthorship especially for tools & methods that are developed collaboratively.

An excellent (long) thread from Amber Peterman on the evidence base for cash transfers. If you haven't been keeping up with the literature, this has lots of links to the papers. Congrats, !
Quote Tweet
OK—I’ll bite.
While I agree with some of the points made in this thread—I disagree w/ the overall statement:
“It's hard to conclude that cash transfers have a solid evidence base”
There is certainly more than one way to read the evidence—so here’s my take:

When we developed pro-WEAI, many thought we would never be able to capture things that mattered, eg women's mental health, well-being. We weren't trying to measure those bc there are well-developed scales. We're happy that pro-WEAI is strongly associated w/ stress & depression!
Quote Tweet
Paper out now: women's empowerment as measured by the pro-WEAI is associated with reduced stress + depression in Burkina Faso Thanks to the journal for a constructive + well-managed revision process!

Filipino scientists are already first-authors in world-class studies even without being funded nor have the luxury of being taken seriously.

We have a new DP out! We look across the portfolio in 🇪🇹 🇳🇪 🇳🇵🇰🇬 to see if a large program w/ women's empowerment objectives delivers on women's #empowerment & #gender equality. Spoiler alert: in most cases, yes, but watch out for time burdens.

2/2 Impact evaluations would be great. I don't know why I'm drawing a blank on Asia in general (are most studies really only on SSA?) Are female ag extension workers so rare in Asia? Are male nutrition workers similarly rare worldwide?
Thanks in advance!

I'm hoping this reaches people working on ag extension & nutrition BCC. I'm looking for papers on outcomes (ag prod'y, nutrition) between: (1) male & female ag extension workers in Asia (lots of papers on Africa!) (2) male & female nutrition workers in Asia and/or Africa.
