Abstract

The Papa Andina project fosters novel approaches combining collective action and innovation processes; it aims to provide equal opportunities for men and women to access the benefits generated by innovations. One of the main reasons for the unequal participation of women are methodologies and approaches used by research and development organisations that do not include gender specific tools to encourage women’s participation in decision-making.
