Moving up the livestock ladder: Gender and equity Nicoline de Haan (ILRI), Annet Mulema (ILRI) and Livestock Livelihoods and Agri‐Food Systems Flagship Gender Team (ILRI and ICARDA) A Stakeholder Consultative Workshop ILRI Addis, 16 October 2018

Overview about the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock Provides research-based solutions to help smallholder farmers, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists transition to sustainable, resilient livelihoods and to productive enterprises that will help feed future generations. Aims to increase the productivity and profitability of livestock agri-food systems in sustainable ways. Aims to making meat, milk and eggs more available and affordable across the developing world.

CRP LIVESTOCK’s main objectives Ensure that appropriate livestock breeds are readily available, affordable and widely used by poor women and men livestock keepers Improve livestock health and health service delivery Increase livestock nutrition by identifying, testing and delivering superior feed and forage strategies and options Reduce the environmental footprint of livestock production Maximize livestock-mediated livelihoods and resilience to risk among smallholder and pastoral producers and enhancing availability and access to animal-source food for rural and urban consumers

How do we achieve the objectives: The five flagships Livestock Genetics Livestock Health Livestock Feeds and Forages Livestock and the Environment Livestock Livelihoods and Agri-Food Systems

Gender and Livestock: Our vision How does gender (in-)equality affect the technological and institutional solutions that are designed, delivered and studied along the livestock ladder? Bottom line: Ensuring both men and women can contribute to improved livestock production How do the technological and institutional solutions developed affect gender relations and gender transformation? Bottom line: Using livestock to improve Page title minimum of 30 points and maximum of two lines Main point 6 point smaller than slide title Bullet points 4 point less than main point Font type is Calibri It is advised in one slide maximum 6 bullets We recommend you use images on slides You can change partner logos on front page You have to duplicate this slide for more inside pages

CoA 2 2018 highlights Product line 1: gender responsive packages Genetics Gender and poultry in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Nigeria - ACGG Gender differentiated preferences for small ruminant breeds Gender dynamics in community-based sheep breeding Environment Gender and land management Sustainable intensification - Africa Rising

CoA 2 2018 highlights Product line 2: gender transformative approaches Gender component in Livestock Master Plan in Bihar state in India Preventing zoonotics through gender transformative approaches Initiated new work on: Women and entrepreneurship Nutrition, gender and livestock Gender analysis of livestock – access, decision making and control Women Empowerment in Livestock Index (WELI)

Our how Integration in flagships: a bundle of services Conceptual underpinning: Reach, Beneficiaries, ______, Empowerment Capabilities It is about gender – what does that mean Trade-offs Page title minimum of 30 points and maximum of two lines Main point 6 point smaller than slide title Bullet points 4 point less than main point Font type is Calibri It is advised in one slide maximum 6 bullets We recommend you use images on slides You can change partner logos on front page You have to duplicate this slide for more inside pages

The bundle in flagships

Building blocks in the flagships Gender and genetics: ACGG and a gender strategy with a voice Gender and genetics: Small ruminants and the breeding cycle Gender and environment: RHOMIS, livestock and the bigger numbers Gender and fodder/feeds: Where are the seed systems for women? Gender and animal health: RVF and gendered uptake of vaccines

Our how Strategic research: empowerment to move up the ladder Conceptual underpinning: Understanding the access, decision-making, and use of livestock resources Developing the capabilities and agency to benefit Understanding and transforming the norms and values around livestock Gender capacity development Page title minimum of 30 points and maximum of two lines Main point 6 point smaller than slide title Bullet points 4 point less than main point Font type is Calibri It is advised in one slide maximum 6 bullets We recommend you use images on slides You can change partner logos on front page You have to duplicate this slide for more inside pages

Building blocks for strategic research Putting in the time, getting the benefits: gender in livestock production An Index of Empowerment using livestock: the WELI Aiming high: integration of gender in the livestock master plan Are women part of the solution or part of the problem: gender and animal health ASF and empowerment: to buy or feed? Along the chain: where are the options for women and how do we ensure the benefits? Gender capacity assessment and development Why did the chicken cross the road? Chicken for economic empowerment but what more/ species positionality

Impact Pathway Sphere of Interest Sphere of Influence Sphere of Control Sphere of interest Research Activities Understanding gender dynamics in livestock Identifying entry points on the livestock ladder and technologies for moving up the livestock ladder Research Output Technological and institutional packages: tools to act Gender transformation through livestock: power to act Research Outcome Gender inclusive livestock development Livestock as a means to empower Sub Development Outcome Women and men benefit and engage in livestock production equitably Development Outcome Women and men livestock keepers have higher and more stable income and increased resilience Impact/SLO Reduced poverty Typically we focus on our output and wave our hands about how it will translate into impact ToC makes us spell out why it will work and helps us sharpen our thinking and prioritize what we need to pay attention to
