AsiaDHRRA opened the possibilities to (1) Organize regional/national meeting or workshop of women’s rural organizations including those organized by the AMS to present and discuss the RAI in coordination and co-organizing  with AFF agri ministries.  The potential trajectory and or plans of this group should lay the ground for a regional network of rural women /farmers orgs to develop a women’s voice in agri development. A gender capacity building for this group is also most wanting, which may run in parallel (or the same) to activity 2 below.  Meanwhile, Regional Workshop/s are directed towards inputting to specific regional policy or program as entry points; (2) Gender capacity building of the regional (may include ASSC PEGD and its gender experts/cadre) and national DHRRAs and its partners. The current capacity building happening in 3 pilot countries can be continued/expanded at the current countries to include non-DHRRA members (specifically the women/youth national platform/s) or extend similar work to cover other countries such a Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia.  The  series of workshops on gender in agriculture may include compilation of good practices to promote gender equality in agri in AMS; and (3) Info dissemination on RAI among gender focal points and agricultural extension /development officers. This may take the form of online campaign anchored on a comprehensive Knowledge Management on Gender in AGRAI in ASEAN, investing in women in agri in ASEAN, and contributing to the targeted gender community of practice of ASEAN.
