The Gender, Climate Change, and Nutrition Integration Initiative
The Gender, Climate Change, and Nutrition Integration Initiative (GCAN), led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), aims to integrate gender, climate resilience, and nutrition considerations into policies, interventions, and research.
Rising fuel and fertilizer prices resulting from the Iran war are disrupting agrifood systems around the world, hitting smallholder farmers and other agrifood workers in low- and middle-income countries particularly hard.
Communities are often the first to experience the impacts of climate change on food security, nutrition, and livelihoods, yet their voices are not always reflected in policy decisions.
GCAN’s activities are carried out through three workstreams—capacity strengthening, technical assistance, and strategic research—to support investments, policies, and actions that fully integrate gender equality, women’s empowerment, and nutrition objectives into climate change efforts.
GCAN offers a wealth of resources developed by globally renowned experts with extensive technical expertise in gender, climate change, nutrition, and agriculture. Our publications and resources draw upon decades of collective experience, providing valuable insights and practical guidance for implementing research and fostering effective action in focal countries and beyond.
