Advancing the gender agenda in small ruminant value chains in Ethiopia

Abstract

A recent gender capacity assessment study by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) revealed that low or lack of gender capacities among research and development practitioners is one of the bottlenecks in the development of gendered livestock value chains in Ethiopia. The assessment findings were shared with the partners involved in the study, who appreciated its importance and noted that it provided the much needed motivation to engage in activities that could help them develop their own gender capacity
