Description:

This training-of-trainers manual is designed to train you to be able to deliver a capacity enhancement workshop (CEW) to rural women on climate change and gender. It has been designed by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and is appropriate to the South Asian context.  At the end of this Training of Trainers (ToT) course, trainers will: 

  • Be aware of the social constructions of gender and how this determines how men and women experience, and can respond to climate change. 
  • Know what the projected climate change is in South Asia in general and the Indo-Gangetic Plains region in particular. 
  • Be able to plan and deliver a training course to rural female legislators and women farmers which enables them to understand climate change and empowers them to understand behavioral changes and low cost technology practices that can help them to adapt. 
  • Have the skills to undertake a longer-term evaluation of the impact of the training.
