Work Package 3 focuses on sustainable livestock productivity for gender equity and social inclusion. It aims to generate evidence on best practices and approaches to empower women and youth through livestock development. This includes: 1) Developing and testing tools to monitor women's empowerment and gender norms. 2) Implementing interventions using accommodative and transformative approaches to empower women, and assessing their impact. 3) Researching best approaches across livestock technical areas to progress gender equality and women's empowerment. 4) Identifying opportunities for youth engagement in livestock value chains and empowering youth through business models. The work package will generate evidence from 4 target countries to identify best practices and approaches to empower women and youth

3. Outcomes within Initiative Timeline
Work Package 3: Sustainable Livestock Productivity for Gender Equity and Social Inclusion
End of Initiative Outcome
Community and household
members in selected
livestock value chains adopt
more gender-equitable
behaviour to enable
participation and benefitting
from livestock assets and
opportunities for 400,000
women and 150,000 youth.
In 4 target countries scientists
and practitioners and extension
agents in animal health, feeds
and forages, genetics and
environment collaborate with
gender scientists to generate
gender- and youth-responsive
livestock innovation bundles
In 4 selected countries policy,
private sector and development
community acknowledge gender-
and youth-based discrimination in
livestock value chains; co-develop
strategies to close the gender and
age gap; and monitor progress
towards achieving that (using
WELI ,WELBI and other WP tools).
Public and private
decision makers
utilize the Initiative
innovation packages
to inform policies
and investments in 7
countries towards an
inclusive and
sustainable livestock
system, including
progress towards
equity and inclusion

10. CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
2 approaches:
1. In-built within projects: we involve students/national
researchers/extension agents and collaborate in acts + link up with
initiatives/programs (such as e.g. GREAT)
2. Ad-hoc trainings outsourced: to train partners; national research
institutes we involve KIT; UN University; national Universities e.g.
Uni of Nairobi (need to look for extra funds)
POLICY
1. In-built within projects: e.g. co-develop and implement projects
with policy makers
2. Strategic gender research: Integrated in GTA (e.g. identify
structural/formalized disadvantage in policies, laws etc that affect
our desired outcome – to then address it) + LMP work

and environmental degradation. Australian animal scientist and Nobel Prize laureate Peter Doherty serves as ILRI’s patron.
Organizations that fund ILRI through their contributions to CGIAR make ILRI’s work possible. Organizations that partner ILRI in
its mission make livestock research for development a reality.
