Abstract

In November 2022 and February 2023, the CGIAR Initiative on Gender Equality held stakeholder workshops in Nigeria and Tanzania to identify and understand norms that constrain women’s abilities to participate in and benefit from cassava, chicken, and fish AFS to build economic resilience. The workshops brought together 17 stakeholders (9 women and 8 men) in Nigeria and 22 stakeholders (12 women and 10 men) in Tanzania, who were knowledgeable about gender issues within the focal AFS. The workshop participants were representatives from academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government departments, the private sector, and associations, among others who provide support in the focal AFS.
