This report reviews the gender implications of the activities of the USAID/East Africa Regional Economic Growth and Integration program, with particular reference to the Feed the Future and climate change initiatives. In East Africa, there is a need to incorporate gender dimensions into local, national, and regional climate change programs and discussions. It is commonly recognized that the poor and marginalized will experience the impacts of climate change most acutely and that they have the least capacity to adapt, and that women and girls make up a disproportionate number of the poor or marginalized.

This gender assessment presents a synthesis of the performance assessment findings for IEHA agricultural investments in sub-Saharan Africa and their ability to address gender constraints and increase the impact of agricultural programs for women, as well as men. It captures best practices and lessons learned and offers evidence-based recommendations on gender integration in order to maximize future agricultural investments toward the goals of rural poverty reduction and food security. Although largely funded by AFR/SD and EGAT/AG, it represents a broader collaboration of offices including EGAT/ESP and EGAT/WID, and organizations including the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).

This manual has been designed to guide trainers in conducting workshops for religious leaders and women leaders of faith on GBV and HIV. It was created specifically for heads of religious organizations, such as inter-religious councils and women's religious organizations. While this material was piloted with leaders, it can be adapted to meet the specific priorities and needs of participants, such as other organization members. The overall objectives of the training are to raise the awareness of religious leaders and women leaders of faith about GBV as it relates to HIV and to motivate them to address the issues in their own organizations or communities.
