WOMEN AND LIVESTOCK
Why GENDER Matters are BIG Matters
Kathleen Colverson  Susan MacMillan  Dorine Odongo
International Livestock Research Institute
International Women’s Day
8 March 2014
Some definitions
• ‘Sex’
Biological, fixed, mostly
unchangeable differences
between males and females
• ‘Gender’
Socially constructed,
changeable, culturally
specific roles for women
and men

• ‘Livestock value chains’
Full range of production,
processing and delivery
activities from farm to fork
Why integrate gender into livestock research?

In most of
the world,
women
perform
most of the
work to
produce
most of the
world’s food
Why integrate gender into livestock research?

A person’s gender affects:
• a person’s nutritional well• the impacts and
being and livelihood strategies
effectiveness of
(e.g., interests and roles in
livestock interventions
livestock value chains)
• a person’s access to
• household food security
natural resources
Why integrate gender into livestock research?
•

Worldwide, women play major
roles in smallholder livestock
systems

•

Women are disproportionately
clustered in small livestock
production systems (poultry,
sheep, goats) and in milking and
milk processing

•

Women-headed and AIDSaffected households are among
the poorest and hungriest
Why assess different value chains differently?
• Along livestock value chains
in developing countries,
women and men typically
provide different kinds of
labour and work in different
segments of the chains
• Women and men
obtain different benefits
from this work, with women
receiving significantly fewer
total benefits than men
Why women face large hurdles in
benefiting from their (large) livestock labours
Typically, in poor countries:

• Men rather than women own the
most valuable household livestock
assets
• Women may own smaller, less
valuable, livestock species
• Women and children raise and care
for all species of livestock
• Women harvest, process and sell
the livestock products and control
some of the income
Why women’s contributions to
livestock value chains are often hidden
• The percentage of ‘economically
active’ women increases
significantly when certain
activities − cultivating a home
garden, raising animals,
gathering firewood − are
recognized as productive
Conventional survey

21%

79%

Economically active

Economically inactive

• The proportion increases
further when certain activities
within the ‘reproductive sphere’
are included, such as meal
preparation and child care

Republic

16%

84%
*including

gardening and raising animals
Why gender plays a role in technology transfer
• Women and men
have unequal access to
information and technology
• Women have less access to
agricultural inputs
• Women have specialized
livestock knowledge
• Women and men play different
roles in livestock management

• Women serve as guardians
of livestock diversity
Why global food security depends on
reducing gender inequality in agriculture
• Gender relations can
change with introduction
of new livestock technologies
if women have access
to inputs, training and markets
• Evidence confirms that
improving the status of women:
– increases farm productivity

– reduces household poverty
– improves family nutrition

Quoted from Feed the Future 2012
Why all the variables matter
• Gender issues must be
viewed in relation to other
variables such as age, assets,
income, education, and
ethnicity of men and women
• Interventions made to
improve livestock value
chains may result in more
work and fewer benefits for
women, or less work and
greater benefits for men
Why mainstream gender in livestock value chains?
Optimizing women’s participation
in livestock value chains can lead
to:
• Higher livestock incomes
for poor women

• Improved rural family welfare,
especially for children – better
nutrition, health, educational
opportunities
• Stronger female intrahousehold bargaining power
and voice in decision-making
How to integrate gender into R4D projects
• Identify and address
gender-based constraints
• Target gender issues and women
in research and training
• Work with women’s associations
• Collect, analyze and use
sex-disaggregated data
• Increase women’s participation
and benefits in R4D projects
• Employ participatory methods
• Work towards social
as well as technical goals
How to mainstream gender in a
livestock value chain project cycle
#1 Map
gender roles
and relations
along the
value chain

Measure the
success of
actions

Take actions to
remove genderbased constraints

Underlying
principles guiding
a strategy for
integrating gender
in a livestock
value chain

Assess the
consequences
of genderbased
constraints

Move from
gender
inequalities to
gender-based
constraints

Adapted from: Rubin et al. 2010,
Mayoux et al. 2010
Collect, analyse and use gender disaggregated data
Provide empirical evidence of:
• Division of labour along
livestock and food chains
• Related needs, interests
and knowledge
• Decision-making processes
• Access to and
control of resources
• Access to credit and
control of revenues
• Gender-based performance
of same activities
Use participatory research methods
to engage and empower women
• Employ mix of quantitative & qualitative approaches
(e.g. semi-structured interviews, focus groups, journaling)
• Ensure equal numbers of women and men in training / surveys
• Train women in
their priority areas
• Investigate genderspecific issues
in value chains

• Interview women
household heads,
incl. single, divorced,
and widowed women
Address women’s priorities and concerns
• Attend to the time of day,
duration of use and location of
the technological interventions
• Give women more time
for activities if needed
• Identify and address
women’s priorities
• Hold separate focus groups
for women and men
• Actively invite women
to meetings and trainings
• Network with women leaders
and gender experts in NGOs
Use gender-sensitive indicators to mark changes
in the status and roles of women and men
• Measure successes in removing
gender-based constraints
• Provide consistency and flexibility
• Attend to process and outcomes
• Use quantitative and qualitative tools
• Find the stories behind the numbers
• Avoid assumptions
• Recognize household differences

Women and livestock: Why gender matters are big matters

  • 1. WOMEN AND LIVESTOCK Why GENDER Matters are BIG Matters Kathleen Colverson  Susan MacMillan  Dorine Odongo International Livestock Research Institute International Women’s Day 8 March 2014
  • 2. Some definitions • ‘Sex’ Biological, fixed, mostly unchangeable differences between males and females • ‘Gender’ Socially constructed, changeable, culturally specific roles for women and men • ‘Livestock value chains’ Full range of production, processing and delivery activities from farm to fork
  • 3. Why integrate gender into livestock research? In most of the world, women perform most of the work to produce most of the world’s food
  • 4. Why integrate gender into livestock research? A person’s gender affects: • a person’s nutritional well• the impacts and being and livelihood strategies effectiveness of (e.g., interests and roles in livestock interventions livestock value chains) • a person’s access to • household food security natural resources
  • 5. Why integrate gender into livestock research? • Worldwide, women play major roles in smallholder livestock systems • Women are disproportionately clustered in small livestock production systems (poultry, sheep, goats) and in milking and milk processing • Women-headed and AIDSaffected households are among the poorest and hungriest
  • 6. Why assess different value chains differently? • Along livestock value chains in developing countries, women and men typically provide different kinds of labour and work in different segments of the chains • Women and men obtain different benefits from this work, with women receiving significantly fewer total benefits than men
  • 7. Why women face large hurdles in benefiting from their (large) livestock labours Typically, in poor countries: • Men rather than women own the most valuable household livestock assets • Women may own smaller, less valuable, livestock species • Women and children raise and care for all species of livestock • Women harvest, process and sell the livestock products and control some of the income
  • 8. Why women’s contributions to livestock value chains are often hidden • The percentage of ‘economically active’ women increases significantly when certain activities − cultivating a home garden, raising animals, gathering firewood − are recognized as productive Conventional survey 21% 79% Economically active Economically inactive • The proportion increases further when certain activities within the ‘reproductive sphere’ are included, such as meal preparation and child care Source: FAO Dominican Republic 16% 84% *including gardening and raising animals
  • 9. Why gender plays a role in technology transfer • Women and men have unequal access to information and technology • Women have less access to agricultural inputs • Women have specialized livestock knowledge • Women and men play different roles in livestock management • Women serve as guardians of livestock diversity
  • 10. Why global food security depends on reducing gender inequality in agriculture • Gender relations can change with introduction of new livestock technologies if women have access to inputs, training and markets • Evidence confirms that improving the status of women: – increases farm productivity – reduces household poverty – improves family nutrition Quoted from Feed the Future 2012
  • 11. Why all the variables matter • Gender issues must be viewed in relation to other variables such as age, assets, income, education, and ethnicity of men and women • Interventions made to improve livestock value chains may result in more work and fewer benefits for women, or less work and greater benefits for men
  • 12. Why mainstream gender in livestock value chains? Optimizing women’s participation in livestock value chains can lead to: • Higher livestock incomes for poor women • Improved rural family welfare, especially for children – better nutrition, health, educational opportunities • Stronger female intrahousehold bargaining power and voice in decision-making
  • 13. How to integrate gender into R4D projects • Identify and address gender-based constraints • Target gender issues and women in research and training • Work with women’s associations • Collect, analyze and use sex-disaggregated data • Increase women’s participation and benefits in R4D projects • Employ participatory methods • Work towards social as well as technical goals
  • 14. How to mainstream gender in a livestock value chain project cycle #1 Map gender roles and relations along the value chain Measure the success of actions Take actions to remove genderbased constraints Underlying principles guiding a strategy for integrating gender in a livestock value chain Assess the consequences of genderbased constraints Move from gender inequalities to gender-based constraints Adapted from: Rubin et al. 2010, Mayoux et al. 2010
  • 15. Collect, analyse and use gender disaggregated data Provide empirical evidence of: • Division of labour along livestock and food chains • Related needs, interests and knowledge • Decision-making processes • Access to and control of resources • Access to credit and control of revenues • Gender-based performance of same activities
  • 16. Use participatory research methods to engage and empower women • Employ mix of quantitative & qualitative approaches (e.g. semi-structured interviews, focus groups, journaling) • Ensure equal numbers of women and men in training / surveys • Train women in their priority areas • Investigate genderspecific issues in value chains • Interview women household heads, incl. single, divorced, and widowed women
  • 17. Address women’s priorities and concerns • Attend to the time of day, duration of use and location of the technological interventions • Give women more time for activities if needed • Identify and address women’s priorities • Hold separate focus groups for women and men • Actively invite women to meetings and trainings • Network with women leaders and gender experts in NGOs
  • 18. Use gender-sensitive indicators to mark changes in the status and roles of women and men • Measure successes in removing gender-based constraints • Provide consistency and flexibility • Attend to process and outcomes • Use quantitative and qualitative tools • Find the stories behind the numbers • Avoid assumptions • Recognize household differences
  • 19. Gender training manual • Closing the gender gap in agriculture: A trainer’s manual • By Kathleen Colverson, ILRI senior gender scientist • Published July 2013 • Series: ILRI Manual 9 • Nairobi, Kenya • International Livestock Research Institute • http://bit.ly/Nmtd6i
