Description Three main impacts at the institutional level ensued through the integration of gender into
SARD-SC Wheat Project in Sudan. The first was flexibility in responding to differing gender roles
and needs in the different Innovation Platform (IP) sites including unprecedented focus on
value addition and involving women in hosting and generating technologies. The second
achievement was increased awareness on the importance of integrating women through
increased knowledge about existing gender gaps and inequalities. The third impact was
increased experiences in involving women through collaborations with multiple stakeholders
(through the IP approach).
Institutional norms related to a sustained focus on urban areas and limited involvement of
women in agricultural interventions were challenged by finding new avenues to involve women6
in wheat programming including in value addition, roughing, and hosting of technologies. The
project focused on improving gender relations at the household, community, and institutional
levels in a safe and culturally appropriate way.
