 Q: Search criteria are difficult. If you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for it’s difficult to find stuff…</span>

 * <span style="line-height: 1.5;"> In terms of the quality, we are a research project we are expected to publish high level publication. In order to have publications, the scientist need to have publication plan. Our publication to be accepted on journal articles we need to have a good research questions and design. So that we can plan for data collection accordingly,</span>
 * <span style="line-height: 1.5;">The other point the steering committee emphasized is team meeting, are these meetings are relevant to inform each other, for the implementation of the themes, and discussion of these meeting needs to be documented and shared with teams. It should be uploaded on the wiki and some teams who missed the meeting will be informed about it.</span>

-* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">A: Gender equality means that the access is not open to men and women.Gender equity means to consider some equity to give access , men and women actually use the same resources</span>

-* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">I really appreciate the report you sent recently, the cross cutting team need to be part of the Africa RISING fabric meetings. From the beginning of our planning and programs. How to incorporate it from the beginning and this should be on phase 2.</span>

-* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Q: I have a problem on gender analysis, all are focusing on comparison on men and women only what do you advise to do a good gender analysis in the case of Africa RISING project?</span>
+<br/>
-* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">A: The good gender analysis look in to other criteria, education, age, not only looking on men and women. It is good to have diversity. It should look into complexity. One has to look into specific topic on how to integrate it on your work.</span>

-* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Clarification: the gender equity your are talking about ex. Access to resources ? marginal soil is for women but we can say that , how do you take the land access and access to quality of land? </span>
+<br/>
 * <span style="line-height: 1.5;">A: It is taken in the gender analysis. We don’t’ want to include, expand the land access.</span>
