The two-days workshop financed by World Bank and facilitated by KIT's senior advisor Dr. Julie Newton, WorldFish's gender research leader, Dr. Cynthia McDougall, and senior research analyst, Surendran Rajaratnam, promoted a shared understanding of gender within the fisheries sub-component of the Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation (APART) project led by WorldFish. 

The event covered topics around gender integration in terms of strengthening project deliverables and supporting the Gender Monitoring & Evaluation of the APART project, but the main focus of the workshop was to build the capabilities of the DoF & ARIAS partners to integrate gender and to leverage the impact of the WorldFish-APART Project in the region of Assam.
