The research entails gender analysis to understand gender

differences, their causes and consequences in livestock

production value chains

Two main components:

• Strategic gender research (subject of the research is directly on gender) and

• Integrated (or mainstreamed) gender research -the gender scientists work with other scientists

• Activities under the gender research component are directly aligned with two flagship projects of the CGIAR research program on Livestock and Fish: • Systems Analysis for Sustainable Innovations (SASI) • Value Chain Transformation and Scaling (VCTS)

• Gender research seeks to understand and respond

appropriately to socio-economic contexts within which both men and women engage in livestock production

Research is guided by the Livestock and Fish gender strategy
