This paper aims to analyse methods and approaches currently used within participatory plant breeding (PPB) with respect to gender issues and to draw out the implications of researchers’ experience with Gender Analysis (GA) and user involvement. It oultlines what more might be done in order to achieve broader impacts and to capitalise on what has been achieved to date.
The authors summarise what is current ‘best practice’, under the headings of Gender Analysis, Stakeholder Analysis and Complementary Research, Participatory Plant Breeding, Communication and Dissemination and finally Assessing Effects and Impacts.
