Facilitating an effective training course on designing and delivering gender-responsive EAS not only involves understanding what construes gender-responsive extension, but also deliberating on competencies that are needed to be able to do so. This training module has been envisioned to assist with reflection on gender bias and gaps in extension, and on potential tools and approaches to design and deliver gender-responsive EAS.
