'Evidence' will be at the heart of the GENDER Impact Platform activities contributing to achieving the reinforcing visions of the Platform as well as the One CGIAR. We are aiming for a world where Gender Equality (GE) drives food systems transformation and vice-versa. We desire food systems that are sustainable, equitable, climate resilient, nutritious and productive. Catalyzing these transformations needs evidence-based research, development and policy options.

The Evidence module aims to identify and fill the evidence gaps, in collaboration with partners within and beyond CGIAR (research, academia, public and private sectors, practitioners). It aims to position GENDER as the go-to-place for high quality evidence and knowledge on equitable and sustainable food systems. It aims to communicate the evidence it collates/generates to influence agriculture and natural resource management R4D policy and practice to facilitate design of pathways for equitable food systems transformations.
This position is based at Bhubaneswar, Odisha and open only for the permanent residents of India
This position will support the Evidence Module leader, Module and Platform teams in supporting implementation of module activities and managing associated partnerships:
