Muzna Alvi highlights the link between gender, climate change and nutrition by presenting a series of initiatives in various countries in the South Asian region that are reducing gender inequality and improving nutrition through climate action. Muzna stresses the need to invest in systems of extension that are crisis resilient, reliable and inclusive- especially for marginalized groups. Her presentation places particular emphasis on solutions coming from local group-based approaches, such as women-led self-help groups, that are having considerable success in delivering agriculture and nutrition related services and information in the region.

The third edition of the Knowledge Exchange Series follows the same format of pre-recorded experts’ videos to be viewed by participants prior to the engaging 90-minute dialogue session. Each session brings on a relevant, timely and vital theme around the nexus of nutrition, climate and agrifood system transformation. Building upon the previous series on India and responding to the demand from the practitioners in the South Asia region, this edition encompasses the challenges and solutions for the entire region. The series highlights innovations taking place in various countries of the region to present practical and actionable solutions on how to transform agrifood systems to address these concurrent and mutually reinforcing crises.
