Integrating Gender and Nutrition within Agricultural Extension Services

INGENAES is building more gender-responsive and nutrition sensitive institutions by strengthening the capacity of key stakeholders in nine Feed the Future and aligned countries. This USAID-funded project aims to reduce gender gaps, increase empowerment of women farmers, and improve gender and nutrition integration within agricultural extension services. We are one of several projects under the AgReach program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
