The document summarizes a 4-day workshop organized by ICRISAT's Gender Research Program that brought together breeders, value chain stakeholders, and social scientists from West African countries. The goal was to define priority traits for sorghum, millet, and groundnut cultivars based on demand from key stakeholders, especially considering gender-related needs. Studies conducted prior to the workshop assessed trait preferences. Participants agreed production, nutrition, and market attributes must be considered in breeding, with an emphasis on nutrition security and gender equity. Traits like productivity, nutrition, and adaptability to marginal soils were discussed as priorities. The expected output is new product profiles to guide breeding programs in developing market-driven, gender-responsive varieties
