Creating gendered monitoring, evaluation and learning indicators for the Livestock and Fish research
programMichael M. Kidoido, Froukje Kruijssen and Alessandra Galie
Livestock and Fish Gender Working Group Workshop and Planning Meeting
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 14-18 October 2013
• The Livestock and Fish (L&F) program consists of 6 themes – Gender and learning – Animal and fish feeds – Animal and fish health – Animal and fish genetics– Targeting theme – Value Chain Development
• Program Objective“To increase productivity of small scale livestock and fish systems ‐so as to increase availability and affordability of meat, milk and fish for poor consumers and, in doing so, to reduce poverty through greater participation by the poor along animal source food value chains”
Background to L&F Monitoring Evaluation and Learning (MEL)strategy
• MEL strategy will include a plan of how L&F MEL activities will be implemented.
• It intends to provide a structured system of program monitoring of learning and innovation.
• It is based on assumptions drawn from a set of well developed theories of change and impact pathways.
• Structured along the 3 phases of the program (research, development, and scale-up)
• The framework will include all indicators for tracking progress during these phases.

Key questions for integrating gender in the MEL frameworks?
• Why and how should we develop these
gender indicators?
• Which MEL framework will these indicators
be part of?
• Who will collect, compile and analyze these
data?
Why and how?• Make existing IDO indicators gender responsive.
• Assess which gender indicators are relevant to theme outputs and outcomes.
• Create indicators to show progress towards overall gender equity of outcomes.
Based on L&F gender theme impact pathway and program impact pathway.
Take into account efficiency and effectiveness of gathering these data.
Which MEL framework will the indicators contribute to? 1. Nested in the L&F program MEL framework – To tracking the effectiveness of the gender
strategies. – To inform on whether program IDOs are achieved
in a gender responsive manner. • Specific focus will be on how theme strategies are
contributing to program overall achievement of program IDOs in a gendered manner.
– Include IDO indicators and pre-IDO indicators.
2. The CG M&E reporting requirements
Which MEL framework will gender indicators contribute to?
1.1 Generic program Impact Pathway(s)
1.2 Gender theme Impact Pathways Diagram
A=Accommodative , T=Transformative
Examples of IDO indicators Program IDOs IDO definition Generic IDO Indicator Pre-IDO indicators
IDO 1 Increased livestock and fish productivity in small-scale production systems for the target commodities (SLO2 )
Change in yield of target commodity
Reduced input requirements (including labour, disaggregated by gender)
• labor efficiency disaggregated by sex
IDO 2 Increased quantity and improved quality of the target commodity supplied equitably from the target small-scale production and marketing systems (SLO2 )
Total per capita production of the target commodity
Improved gender-equity in control of production and utilization of the target commodity at intra-household level and particularly for the most vulnerable groups
Increased marketable surplus of the target commodity (to be analyzed in regard to decisions and control of benefits)
Increase in quality of the target Animal Source Food (ASF)
IDO 3 Increased employment and income for low-income actors in the target value chains, with an increased share of employment opportunities for and income controlled by low-income women (SLO1)
Increases in total cash/non cash household income (absolute and as share of total)
Increases in ownership and control of productive and consumption assets, disaggregated by gender
Increase in the share of women reporting controlling of income from value chain participation with in their household
Increased employment in the target value chains taking care that the most vulnerable access employment opportunities, disaggregated by sex, age and poverty status
IDO 4 Consumption of the target commodity responsible for filling a larger share of the nutrient gap for the poor, particularly for nutritionally vulnerable populations (women of reproductive age and young children) (SLO3) - CRP 4
Improved diet diversity (HDDI & IDDI)
Equitable consumption of target commodity, by gender/vulnerable groups
IDO 5 Lower environment impacts and higher benefits per unit of commodity produced in the target value chains (SLO4)
Nitrogen fluxes in the water due to per unit production of target commodity in the value chains
Nitrogen fluxes in the air due to per unit production of target commodity in the value chains
Lower emission of GHG per unit of target commodity produced in the value chains
IDO 6 Policies (including investments) and development actors recognize and support the development of the small-scale production and marketing systems, and seek to increase the participation of women within these value chains, will contribute to all outcomes at the system level (SLO2)
Increased number of policies implemented that have been informed by program outputs
Increased investment in the sector
Increased investment (budget share) and regulatory frameworks that integrate a gender-equity approach influenced by the program
1.3 Theme performance indicator tracking (mainly at output and activity level) • We assume that the current log frame
provides an elaborate intervention framework for the entire program life span.
• Tracking of program activities and outputs as stipulated in the theme log frame.
• Mainly for theme’s internal learning.
Gender Research Outputs Outcome -> Impact
Indicators
“Increased gender capacity within CGIAR, partner organizations, and value chain actors to diagnose and overcome gender based constraints within value chains”
Gender capacity development strategy and curriculum that provides guidelines and recommendations for engaging partners and building their capacity in gendered value chain analysis, technology development, social marketing and extension
Increased frequency and quality of gender integration efforts across the program

2. CG performance monitoring indicators for integration of gender in CRP research• Process indicators for integration of gender in
CRP 3.7 research • Institutional frameworks for integration of
gender put in place • Transparent tracking of resources for gender

Stages of the research process
Indicators
Priority setting and problem identification
Number of men and women participating in setting priorities for technology development
Level of participation of women and men in evaluation of technologies using innovative approaches
Number of women and men accessing improved technologies Effect of improved technologies on women’s and men’s labor, time, and
workload Planning
Percentage of projects with monitoring and evaluation indicators addressing gender differentiation
Whether priority setting for research planning included gender-related criteria Projects’ impact on women’s and men’s access and control of resources
Personnel and institutional support Number of scientist and partners trained Gender skills acquired by trained personnel and partners A gender strategy in place to ensure gender concerns in projects
Capacity enhancement Number of training activities attended by men and women Number of women and men trained on improved technologies Number of training courses specifically focusing on women’s technology needs
Outputs Number of partners using gender related information for decision making Number of reports and policy briefs that are based on gender disaggregated or
gender information Change in capacity of partners
Who will track the indicators?
• Indicators for program MEL reporting
– Outcome and impact assessments instituted by Impact Assessment theme
– Individual project M&E activities – scientists through routine research activities
• CG reporting requirements
– Annual program gender theme reporting requirement – Mainly the gender theme leader in consultation with
other theme leaders and scientists
Challenges encountered• Process of defining IDOs at CG level is top down providing
little space of the gender group to make changes
• Wording of IDOs inflexible
• Difficulty of introducing indicators to measure progress in gender equity within existing ‘technical’ indicators
CGIAR is a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. The CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish aims to increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems in sustainable ways, making meat, milk and fish more available and affordable across the developing world.
