dc.description.abstract | This synthesis report by the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST) presents an in-depth analysis of gender equity and inclusion within six IDRC-funded research projects under the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI). It explores how gender was integrated in the design, implementation, and outcomes of projects in sectors such as essential oils, wheat production, bakery, propolis, cricket feed, and shea butter processing. Using mixed methods including field visits, interviews, and desk reviews, the study reveals that while all projects reported some level of gender inclusion, there were critical gaps in systematic planning, resource allocation, and monitoring of gender-specific outcomes. Key findings emphasize the importance of gender-responsive budgeting, capacity building, institutional support, and setting gender-based targets to improve inclusion. The report concludes with actionable recommendations for enhancing gender mainstreaming in future research, policy, and innovation systems to ensure equitable participation and benefits for all genders. | |
