Bio
As the Science Officer, I support the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform in facilitating high-quality gender research in agriculture, livestock and natural resource research and strategically communicating high-quality evidence for impact. I combine this with the role of Lead of the OneCGIAR Gender Equality Research Initiative, which seeks and tests solutions to address structural constraints to gender equality in agrifood systems.
Current research includes mapping of hotspots where women are at high risk of climate change, examining the relationship between women’s empowerment and gender equality of climate resilience capacities, and testing solutions for empowering women in climate resilience in such hotspots. I collaborate in a research project synthesizing effects of agricultural and livestock projects on women’s empowerment measured with Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) and Women's Empowerment in Livestock Index (WELI) tools. I co-authored two background papers for the 2023 FAO report on the Status of Women in Agrifood Systems.
In recent research I have studied the effects of gender transformative approaches with coffee farming households on women’s empowerment, intrahousehold cooperation and coffee farming outcomes in Uganda and Tanzania. I have studied the effects of more gender responsive ICT-mediated agronomic extension on women’s empowerment in agriculture in Uganda. I have examined the mediation effects of assets on women’s empowerment in a graduation approach in Burkina Faso; and the effects of cooperative membership on women’s empowerment in Uganda.
I have reviewed effects of food system innovations on diets and nutrition outcomes and studied women’s empowerment and diet diversity against the background of COVID19 in Bangladesh. In a qualitative study, I have explored adolescents’ capabilities and aspirations across gender and generations in Ethiopia.
In past research, I have studied the way gender and one’s relative power status in the community shape the way common pool resources, irrigation water in particular, are shared. Smaller research projects include participatory monitoring of women land and property rights in East-Africa and the inclusiveness of the oilseed value chain in Uganda.
I hold a PhD of Political Sciences and have a background in development economics and demography at masters level. Hence, my interest in studying the role of power relations in development outcomes. I often adopt a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods including field experiments and lab-in-the-field experiments. In my career, I have alternated between academic research and more practice- and policy-oriented research in the field. I have worked and lived in Tanzania and Uganda for extended periods, and in Kenya for a short while.
