Abstract

Gender inequality along a seed value chain impedes service delivery, ultimately holding back economic and social upliftment of rural communities. ‘A Guide for GENDER INTEGRATION IN SEED COMPANIES: Legume Seed Value Chains of Tanzania’ is aimed at seed companies in Tanzania that want to see greater gender integration in their businesses. This guide suggests gender-responsive actions that can be adapted by different companies based on their individual needs and context, in order to enhance their efficiencies. Seed companies can use this brief as a ‘tool’ to initiate and encourage discussions and actions that lead to more gender-inclusive value chains, improve results and lead to gains for the company, its women employees and the society in general
