This document summarizes a presentation on monitoring and impact evaluation for scaling up IFAD's goals from 2010 to 2015. Some key points:
- IFAD aims to reach 90 million people and lift 80 million out of poverty by 2015, requiring increased efficiency and effectiveness.
- Better understanding of what works, where, and how is needed to scale up impacts through learning agendas, indicators, and M&E/IE systems.
- Questions remain about understanding cause-effect relationships and differing impacts between projects and areas. Learning organizations specify assumptions and test hypotheses through learning agendas.
- Tomorrow's event will discuss IFAD's corporate M&E agenda, and issues papers and information will address topics like poverty definitions, methods
The SDVC project aimed to strengthen the dairy value chain in Bangladesh to increase incomes for smallholder households, 50% of which were women. The project found that (1) learning groups with high percentages of women members and female leaders had the highest incomes, (2) households where women owned cattle and made selling decisions had higher incomes, and (3) female livestock workers with training achieved higher income increases than men. The project used tools like focus groups and surveys to measure changes in women's empowerment over time, finding an increase in cattle ownership. Moving forward, the project aims to ensure infrastructure supports women's participation and helps women engage in new roles along the value chain while involving men in empowerment efforts.
This presentation focuses on the role of Multi-Stakeholder Platforms (MSPs) and the importance of private sector engagement in CARE Ethiopia's GRAD program. MSPs are an innovative tool used by CARe to build relationships among all the stakeholders and develop and improve the program's interventions.

This document summarizes a study on enhancing gender equality through value chain development projects in Guatemala, India, and Peru. The study examined how socioeconomic benefits varied across households, enterprises, and individuals. It found that benefits depended on factors like asset levels, positions in the value chain, gender norms, and project interventions. Projects often focused more on production than processing or marketing, with limited benefits trickling down to excluded groups like women and lower castes. The study concludes that achieving gender equitable and sustainable gains requires long-term strategies addressing asset building, resource rights, livelihood diversification, and enabling environments. Targeted capacity building and support for women's participation and decision-making are also important.

Presented by Kathleen Colverson at the CGIAR Livestock and Fish Research Program Gender Component Planning Meeting, Nairobi, Kenya, 29-30 November 2012
IFPRI organized a two day workshop on “Agricultural Extension Reforms in South Asia – Status, Challenges, and Policy Options” to be organized at Committee Room 3, NASC, Pusa, New Delhi on February 17-18, 2015. IFPRI has been conducting research related to agricultural extension reforms in India and collaborating with researchers in other south Asian countries for the past five years through various projects. For understanding extension reforms in India, a major consultation was held in NAARM in 2009 during which policy makers called for development of evidence for spreading extension reform process in India. Since then several research papers have been produced on various aspects of Indian extension system. While they are presented in various forms including several discussion papers, there is a need to pull all the research result together to present it in form that could be used by the policy makers to further guide them in the reform process. South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are going through similar challenges in getting knowledge to farmers. Several experiment shave been conducted to test new approaches to extension by the public, private and NGO sectors. Learning from each country experiences will bring collective understanding and knowledge for the policy makers who are attempting to bring changes in the reform process. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together a groups of researchers, analysts and policy makers to present the issues, constraints and challenges facing agricultural extension reforms that are being implemented in South Asian countries.
This document summarizes the objectives and approach of the Gender, Agriculture, and Assets Project (GAAP), a four-year research project led by IFPRI and ILRI and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The project aims to evaluate eight agricultural development projects in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to identify their impacts on men's and women's assets and determine which strategies are most effective at reducing gender gaps. GAAP contributes qualitative and quantitative research to help projects assess changes in gender norms and asset disparities over time. Two main findings that emerged across projects are that gender influences participation in agricultural interventions and that such interventions can affect gendered control and ownership of assets, even without direct asset transfers.

The document discusses knowledge gaps around the impact of value chain development (VCD) on poverty reduction. It presents the "5Capitals" assessment tool, which takes an asset-based approach to evaluate how VCD affects livelihood assets and business performance. Case studies applying this tool in various countries revealed that VCD alone has limited impact on asset building for those below a minimum asset threshold. The document proposes that ICRAF use the 5Capitals tool to assess VCD options for underutilized fruits in select countries, to better understand how to design pro-poor interventions.
The document summarizes the benefits and gender issues of a project to adopt modern corn farming technology in Pinagtagbo. It lists similar benefits to men and women, such as access to training, increased yields and sales, and improved standards of living. However, it notes that women had limited access to financial services, farm lots, and hiring of additional farm workers compared to men. The document also identifies organizational and client gender issues, such as a lack of gender sensitivity and women's participation. It provides strategies to address these, such as gender training, empowerment activities, and facilitating access to financial and childcare services.

It will do this through four components: enhancing nutrition along value chains; biofortification; preventing and controlling agriculture-associated diseases; and integrated programs and policies. The program objectives are to generate knowledge on nutrition and disease, develop biofortified and nutrient-rich foods, develop evaluation methods, and provide evidence on agriculture's role in improving nutrition and health. Initial research priorities include nutritional value chains, biofortification, agriculture-associated diseases, and integrated programs and policies. The program expects to have impacts like improved nutrition and health through various research and development outcomes and partnerships across sectors
This document discusses capacity needs assessment and strengthening for evidence-based agricultural policymaking. It provides an overview of capacity at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels. A framework is presented that maps the policy process and where research can inform it.

Key questions are raised around strengthening national capacity systems and assessing capacity needs at different levels.
This document outlines the overall gender strategy and research portfolio for the CGIAR Research Program 2 (CRP2) on policies, institutions, and markets to strengthen food security and incomes for the rural poor. The strategy includes integrating gender in each subtheme's research and outcomes, as well as conducting strategic gender research to generate evidence on gender in agriculture, evaluate linkages between development and gender relations, and apply gender analysis to policy. Specific gender-related outputs are identified for policies, institutions, and markets research. Three strategic research themes on the information base on gender in agriculture, linkages between development and gender relations, and applying gender analysis to policy implementation are described.

1) Households that have female farm leaders and groups that are all-women have significantly higher total household income from dairy compared to other gender compositions.
2) There is a significant positive relationship between women owning cattle and women's knowledge scores - women who own cattle have higher knowledge scores.
3) Women who own cattle are more likely to make decisions about selling cattle compared to women who do not own cattle. The majority of selling decisions in households where women own cattle are made jointly or by the woman herself.
This document summarizes the findings of a gender assessment conducted in Manica, Mozambique as part of a dairy development project. Key findings include:

2) While overall household decision making remained with men, women were being consulted more on dairy business decisions as they took on larger roles in dairy management.
3) The project created both self-employment and wage employment in the dairy sector, benefiting both women and men.
4) Household incomes and food security increased significantly due to income generated from dairy activities.
This document summarizes land allocation and regularization programs in Odisha and West Bengal run by Microplot Homestad Programs. The programs aim to allocate or regularize land ownership for poor families. In West Bengal, land is allocated according to selection criteria prioritizing marginalized groups.

Evaluating the programs' gender impacts is challenging due to the sample composition and short time period of the Gender Assessment and Action Planning project.
- Money maker pumps have increased crop production, incomes, and food security in East Africa. However, women face more constraints than men in accessing and owning the pumps.
- Qualitative research found that while decisions are made jointly, men have final say and prefer higher value cash crops. Women prefer crops that can be harvested longer and sold locally.
- Quantitative data showed slightly lower disease rates for children where pumps were used, but Tanzania had higher rates than Kenya overall. Pump owners had higher incomes than the general population but less than national averages.
- Adjustments were made to programs to increase women's access, like installment plans. However, more work is needed to overcome gender barriers to pump ownership.

The document discusses a gender, agriculture and assets project being conducted in South Asia to evaluate the impacts of agricultural development programs on gender inequalities. It aims to understand what assets are important to men's and women's livelihoods, who has access and control over these assets, and how introduced technologies may affect asset access and control. The study will compare villages using introduced practices to non-user villages. Asset ownership and decision-making will be analyzed by gender, family type, and caste to understand differences. Initial findings show men typically control land and machinery while women often care for small livestock and make decisions on outputs. The use of pictures to discuss assets was an effective participatory method.
Enhanced homestead food production for improved food securitygenderassets
1) The document describes a program in Burkina Faso that aims to improve nutrition by increasing home food production and supporting women farmers. 2) It evaluates the program's impacts on assets, income, knowledge and child nutrition, finding some gains but also high malnutrition rates and anemia prevalence remaining. 3) It identifies challenges around women retaining control over program assets, securing land access, and water shortages, and seeks suggestions to address these issues.
This document summarizes a study conducted by BRAC on the gender impacts of their Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction (CFPR) programme. The CFPR programme provides income-generating assets like livestock to ultra-poor households. The study found that women in treatment areas had greater ownership and control over assets received from the programme compared to other household assets, which are often male-dominated. It also found that targeting women led to economic and social empowerment, as well as improved household relationships. The programme was deemed to have a positive impact on beneficiary women by improving their economic well-being, human capital, and crisis coping abilities.
This document outlines the objectives and expectations of the Gender and Agricultural Assets Project (GAAP) mid-term workshop. The workshop aims to: 1) provide an understanding of GAAP's conceptual framework and each project's role; 2) share the status and plans of each project; and 3) identify opportunities to strengthen the research and dissemination of results. Participants are expected to familiarize themselves with other GAAP projects and provide feedback to improve gender-related data collection, evaluation, and research quality.

5. GAAP related activities
EADD fits into GAAP Objective 2 (Strengthening capacity
to use analysis to develop and test strategies to improve project impact on
women’s assets)
1. To undertake a review of the existing data from the baseline survey, the mid- Not started
term evaluation and project progress monitoring data and ascertain the extent to
which the sets of data can be used to analyze and track the impact of the project
on women’s assets.
2. To select some of the strategies identified and implemented to increase Not started &
benefits to women, and evaluate their efficiency and effectiveness in improving won’t be done in
women’s assets EADD1
3. To incorporate a scope on assessing the impact of EADD 1 on gender and Early 2013
agricultural assets in the final evaluation.
4. To integrate gender and agricultural assets in the theory of change and the Done (Dee’s
program design of EADD Phase 2. support in June)
6. Gender Strategy in EADD II
A twofold approach
•A separate and cross cutting major objective on gender to ensure that supporting
outputs and activities are included fully in the project design and budgeted for:
- EADD-2 wide gender policy/strategy
- Enhanced capacity of EADD staff and partners to mainstream gender
•Relevant gender outputs and activities are mainstreamed in the other respective
major objectives
7. Proposed Gender Activities in
EADD II
1. Increasing access to 2. Increasing returns to 3. Reducing risks
assets that women assets by increasing and vulnerability
require to participate productivity and/or
fully in project activities improving access to
and benefit from these market
(Meinzen-Dick et al., 2011
8. 1. Increasing access to assets that require women
to participate fully in project activities and benefit
from them.
Type of Examples of capital Gender based constraints Possible Strategies
capital
Physical Equipment required for dairy Sgnificantly fewer female headed households Access to loans through groups
production and marketing; owned assets compared to male headed
cattle households.
Natural Land, water Women less likely to own exotic cattle (within Encouraging households to register different cows
households and across all countries, both local under different members names
and exotic cattle were mainly owned by men)
Political Identity card, assertiveness in Women represent 19 and 25 % of Board Link with Department of Registration of persons to
meetings, leadership position in members in Kenya and Uganda facilitate access to IDs; Enforce legal requirement of
DFBA at least 1/3 women in Boards
Social Being a member of a group, Farmers groups
ability to participate in Training on assertiveness and leadership skills;
collective action exchange visits
Human Education, health Female heads of households had significantly Appropriateness of technologies promoted-e.g dual
fewer years of schooling than male headed crops-fodder and food
households in Kenya and Rwanda. Household approach to extension services
Financial DFBA shares, savings account Women constitute 30% of shareholders (June
2012)
Significantly higher proportions of men than
women had applied for a loan across the 3 EADD
countries.
EADD baseline report 6 (gender), 2009
9. 2. Increased returns to assets by increasing
productivity and/or improving access to market
Participation in specific value chain
is gendered.
Proposed strategies:
•Training
• bargaining and negotiation skills, especially those participating in informal
markets and carving business roles along the chain (butter in Ethiopia,
youth milk transporters in Uganda)
•Innovative modes of payment
• mobile money technology to allow women access financial services
•Broaden check off system:
• includes household food stuff as a win –win strategy for the household and the
DFBA: women would be encouraged to sell milk through the DFBA and be able to
get more affordable food items
10. 3. Reducing risks and vulnerability
EADD interventions may increase household
vulnerability to shocks
Proposed strategies -
•Introducing improved breeds gradually
•Providing linkages with financial services providers
12. Recap - EADD I to EADD II
EADD I Proposed for EADD II
Gender analysis By product of “Know Her” - Gender analysis at various levels of the value chains
the baseline
Attention to limited “Design for Her” - Gender mainstreamed in all Major Objectives +
gender (and 1 Objective on Gender and Youth Empowerment
youth)
Partner in charge HI All partners - gender is mainstreamed in all Major Objectives
Activities Some Embedded in other activities based on analysis of gender based
constraints
Monitoring & Limited “Be accountable to Her” - Sex and age group disaggregated
Evaluation monitoring template
Profile case studies to gain deeper understanding of outputs
especially at HH level
Evaluation- undertake thematic studies on gender and youth
13. Next steps
1. To undertake a review of the existing data from the baseline survey, the mid- TBD
term evaluation and project progress monitoring data and ascertain the extent to
which the sets of data can be used to analyze and track the impact of the project
on women’s assets.
2. To incorporate a scope on assessing the impact of EADD 1 on gender and Early 2013
agricultural assets in the final evaluation.

Gender and Assets in Agricultural Projects conceptual (GAAP) framework offers a way for ‘understanding the gendered pathways through which asset accumulation occurs, including attention to not only men’s and women’s assets but also those they share in joint control and ownership’
BY June 2012 women constituted 29% of dairy farmers registered with the dairy producer organizations supported by EADD in Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda. representing an increase from 13.8% baseline status
Depending on the types of hubs promoted, women may be at risk of losing control of milk income If women unable to retain income from milk sales, milk can be diverted to other channels, jeopardizing DFBA profitability… it makes business sense to apply a gender lens at DFBA level also
(animal diseases, climatic shocks). Investing more resources like land and labour in dairy activities may also jeopardize household financial stability if negative shocks like human diseases occur than prevent good running of the dairy entreprise. Shocks affect differently men and women, a gender lens is required here also A lesson learnt in EADD-1- so that farmers and particularly women gain the required management skills formal and informal savings and loan program, micro insurance, education and awareness on health insurance
