The document summarizes the goals and activities of the CGIAR Gender and Breeding Initiative. The initiative aims to develop a strategy for gender-responsive breeding through practical approaches and tools. It also seeks to foster collaboration between plant and animal breeders and social scientists. Recent activities include webinars, workshops, and working documents on topics like gender-targeted variety profiles, setting breeding objectives, and case studies of gender in breeding programs. Next steps discussed are continuing the initiative in 2018, resource mobilization, and linking with other related programs.
