Writeshop to synthesize Livestock and Fish experiences mainstreaming gender

Women clean fish to provide nutritious food

From 4-8 April 2016, the program’s gender initiative is convening a writeshop of scientists and gender specialists to bring together results and lessons learned in the past 18 months.

Thirteen ’coached’ projects are participating, drawn from all the program’s flagships, CGIAR partners and several countries.

Mapping gender dimensions: towards gender sensitive geographical targeting and scaling out
Evaluating best-bet intervention in contrasting L&F value chains in sub Saharan Africa in a gender differentiated manner: from household to intra household level patterns

Differential gender impacts of animal diseases in small ruminant production in Ethiopia
Gender dimensions of pig management in the smallholder pig production systems in Uganda: case of control of African Swine Fever
Mainstreaming gender in feed and fodder interventions in “MoreMilkIT” sites in Tanzania
Engendering FEAST – the feed assessment tool
Traditional breeding practices of Somali women and men livestock keepers – see blogpost
Gender issues in cattle genetics research in Nicaragua – see blogpost
Designing and piloting gender integrated/gender transformative best-bets in the Bangladesh fish value chain
Gender in designing and implementing smallholder pig value chain hub models in Uganda
Gender analysis of Bangladesh fish feed value chain leading to action research to overcome gender based constraints to women’s participation

The writeshop outputs will be a book published later in 2016; in April, initial experiences of several of these initiatives will be highlighted on this web site.
