Gender Dynamics in Value Chains beyond Production Node and Single Commodity Analysis

session code Wed 2.2

Much research has been done to-date on gender dynamics in value chain development, however, there tends to be an overemphasis on the production node and on single commodity chains. This session looks at the findings from a set of projects that began in 2019 and were supported by PIM via the CGIAR Collaborative Platform for Gender Research (predecessor to the current GENDER Platform). The projects analyze gender roles, responsibilities and relations in agricultural value chains drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data looking at nodes in the midstream segments of a value chain or across multiple chains.
