To support the documentation and access to gender-specific data in agricultural research, African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) partnered with the Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) initiative led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) to develop The Women in African Agricultural Research Data Portal. The portal features detailed sex-disaggregated data on human resources in agricultural research, tools for country comparisons and analysis that allow researchers and policy makers to set priorities, establish benchmarks, and monitor progress over time.
