Gender issues in agricultural research occasion dynamic sets of opportunities and constraints that influence research effectiveness. The project Sustainable Intensification of Maize-Legume cropping systems for food security in Eastern and Southern Africa (SIMLESA) was implemented in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania to increase farm-level food security and productivity, in the context of climate risk and change. ASARECA led the gender mainstreaming activities in SIMLESA by conducting capacity building and
supporting instrumentation, data management and dissemination.
