To mark the occasion of the International Women’s Day 2016, the CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems is stepping it for women to raise awareness about their roles and recognize their invaluable contribution to agriculture and other socio-economic, cultural and political aspects of life in the world’s most vulnerable communities in rural drylands.

CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems commemorates today by launching Women and Gender in Drylands, an EXPOSURE photo story to highlight gender issues in rural drylands of the developing world, and to celebrate examples of successful gender-responsive research interventions by the program.
