Dear Colleagues,
Attached is the Engaging Men Toolkit developed for engaging men (and boys) in gender and equity-responsive approaches to rural transformation projects. The toolkit is designed for delivery at the community level as stand alone activities or integrated into other project or programme level interventions.
This toolkit was developed by fellows from Equimundo with experience from Journeys of Transformation (Rwanda) and the Men Engage Alliance. Modules were adapted for Uganda through a co-creation process as part of the global initiative for SECURING WOMEN’S RESOURCE RIGHTS THROUGH GENDER TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACHES funded by IFAD (2021-2024). This consortium of gender specialists from CIFOR-ICRAF, the Alliance of Bioversity-CIAT, and IFPRI tested approaches for designing GTAs with IFAD-funded projects from gender-analysis to validation/sensemaking, co-creation, training-of-trainers and localized pilots.
Additional publications and tools developed across six countries may be found on the project website: https://www.cifor-icraf.org/wlr/publications/
