During July to September 2018, IDH conducted gender sensitization trainings with IDH’s 19 Implementing Partners in 30 locations across India, training around 2000 field-level workers, who provide extension service to over a million farmers.
Through the training, field extension workers were made aware of mainstreaming gender equality in their work, labor division based on gender, access to resources, decision making, gender awareness in project activities, and project planning for gender inclusion.
The workers who participated in the trainings were able to implement these learnings over the cotton season in 2019. This document captures their experiences and highlights the field-level impact of the exercise.
