GENDER EQUALITY,
YOUTH & SOCIAL INCLUSION
Outcomes
• Use of this framework is being promoted inside
the Genetics Flagship and more broadly. It is still
too early for there to be outcomes.

Ensuring gender responsive livestock
genetic improvement
§ A conceptual framework has been developed for
integration of gender considerations into livestock genetic
improvement strategies.
§ Adoption of this framework will ensure greater and more
equitable benefit from genetic technologies.
The CGIAR Research Program on Livestock thanks all donors &
organizations which globally support its work through their contributions
to the CGIAR Trust Fund. cgiar.org/funders

Context
• Little consideration is often given by genetic
programs to how the preferences women and
men may have for species, breeds and traits,
and their ability to participate in, and benefit
from, livestock genetic improvement differs, as
affected by gender dynamics and norms
Our innovative approach
• In response to the above a conceptual
framework has been developed, showing that
gender considerations are relevant at all stages
of implementation of a genetic improvement
strategy.
Future steps
• The next step is to develop a monitoring,
evaluating and learning tool to accompany the
framework, to assist practitioners in monitoring
and adjusting implementation of the framework.
