Deepen your gender research skills
GREAT training equips social scientists with gender-specific skills, allowing them to collect robust data and feed it back into project activities, leading to real results.
Develop your professional network
Course participants celebrate a birthday, and connections formed across projects, disciplines and countries.
Call for Applications: Gender-Responsive Plant Breeding and Seed Systems Course
The new course aims to equip participants from Bangladesh, India and Nepal with the knowledge and skills to identify and address gender issues in plant breeding and seed systems programs to achieve climate resilience outcomes.
About GREAT
GREAT courses equip researchers to create more inclusive and effective agricultural systems by addressing the priorities of both women and men in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
GREAT delivers training to agricultural researchers from SSA in the theory and practice of gender-responsive research, seeking to increase opportunities for equitable participation and the sharing of benefits from agricultural research and improve the outcomes for smallholder women farmers, entrepreneurs, and farmer organizations across sub-Saharan Africa.
By building and engaging communities of researchers equipped with the skills, knowledge, and support systems to develop and implement gender-responsive projects, GREAT advances gender-responsiveness as the norm and standard for agricultural research.
GREAT is a collaboration between Cornell University in Ithaca, New York and Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda.
