CRISP in partnership with the Glasgow Caledonian University recently completed a scoping study for WHEAT‐CRP on “Integration of Gender and Social Equity in R4Don Wheat-Based Systems in South Asia” for CIMMYT (International Centre for Wheat and Maize). The key research questions explored by the scoping study were as follows.

How are gender and social equity issues around agricultural research are currently being addressed in South Asia?

How can gender and social equity issues be tackled in future wheat research in South Asia?

This study involved a background study on experiences to date on gender and social equity, analysis of national policies on gender and social equity, country level stakeholder analysis and social actor analysis around specific cases.
