Issues we are working on

Tanzania
Ongoing:
Empowerment and nutrition links (survey July 2015) and WELI tool developed
Policy (consultancy; proposal and abstract prepared)
Capacity development
Strategic research (e.g. ownership study etc)
Gender in hubs (work with Pratyusha + gender integration funds with KIT)
Gender in Climate Change (will do with Post-doc)
Gender analysis of raw data from situation analysis
Planned for 2015:
Integration in technology: gender in feed
Empowerment (paper on GTA, gender analysis and empowerment, participatory empowerment pathways)
Social media for gender transformation (Well Told Story)
Global study?
Ideas for could also do:

  • Species VC complementarity (submitted in a couple of proposals)
  • How do we ensure women are not excluded as traders when quantities are larger? Can we facilitate their transportation? Do they mostly stay in the informal system and smaller system? Can we change that? How? understand gender dimensions in trading, who does what and who is in the formal and informal, implications, opportunities,
  • Check the monitoring data to assess who sells to whom, see above. Mine the data from a gender perspective.
  • Why membership in farmers groups is dominated by men? Because these groups are essential for hubs….women’s exclusion vis-à-vis their roles in livestock can be problematic
  • Do some qualitative research based on the results of the hh survey
  • Appreciate health issues in the producer-traders-consumers short value chain that might be in place when women produce and sell in their neighborhood….Can we address safety and handling issues with women producers, informal traders and consumers?


Ethiopia
Ongoing:

  • Completed data collection.

Participatory epidemiology

A draft GTA tool to tease out gendered constraints in acceptability and adoptions of pig feed rations and water intake (Carter)

Ideas for could also do:

  • Cap dev for local partners in 2016- following the local gender capacities assessment
  • How to ensure the inclusion of gender issues in CIAT´s forages work by the team?
  • Differences between women and men´s assets/resources portfolios can generate ideas on innovations that can strengthen women´s roles in the VC without increasing their workload (for example, improving their cheese production instead of involving them in additional cattle farming activities).
  • Other GTA through local media
