Volume 1, Number 1
September 1994

The Gender CG Newsletter is a hard copy complement to the Gender CG Network, an electronic network that connects researchers working on gender and intrahousehold issues in the areas of agriculture, natural resource management, food security, and nutrition. The newsletter is published three times a year. The objective is to expand access to the network among researchers who do not have electronic mail and to provide them with the opportunity to interact with network subscribers.

Often gender researchers are somewhat isolated within their institutions and need the support of colleagues with similar interests. Consequently, the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), initiated the Gender CG Network in March 1994. The network is designed to link researchers at CG Centers, national agricultural research centers (NARs), and related nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) involved in food and agricultural policy. The Network is intended to be a forum for research exchange and information sharing.

Currently, the Gender CG Network has nearly 100 subscribers worldwide, working in a variety of disciplines, from anthropology to nutrition to agricultural economics to agricultural sciences. We hope that subscribers from a variety of backgrounds will continue to participate in and benefit from it. We also hope that those who are uncertain about the relevance of gender research will learn of new approaches for an improved understanding of the equity, welfare, and efficiency impacts of agricultural policy.

Each issue of the Gender CG Newsletter will highlight conversations on the Gender CG Network in the preceding four months. The newsletter will also list upcoming international conferences, gender-related job postings that have been announced over the Network, and every working paper and research report mentioned on the electronic Network since the previous issue, with details for obtaining them. Information about subscriptions to both the Gender CG Network and the Gender CG Newsletter appear at the end of this document.

This edition was compiled by Constance Semler, Ruth Meinzen-Dick, Lynn Brown, and Lawrence Haddad, of IFPRI.
