Abstract

The role of women in innovation processes and the impacts on their lives are not well understood. This PowerPoint presentation focuses on questions that address gender imbalance in research, and introduces the Gender and Innovation program launch, which entails eight different country perspectives on gender and innovation in different sectors; agricultural innovation and technology; technology and innovation in water resource management; livelihoods and enterprises; and governance and decision making. It asks “Individually and collectively, what lessons can be learnt for policy and institutional changes through innovations that are more inclusive of gender perspectives?”
