Item Women, livestock ownership and markets : bridging the gender gap in Eastern and Southern Africa(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2013) Njuki, Jemimah; Sanginga, PascalFor many smallholder farmers, livestock are essentially four-legged bank accounts, allowing millions of “unbanked” poor people to build assets and insure themselves against shocks such as crop failures, accidents and illnesses. Such assets and insurance are particularly important to women, who remain the backbone of global smallholder agriculture. The book explores issues of income management and economic benefits of livestock markets to women, focusing on how types of markets, types of products, and women’s participation in markets influence their access to livestock income. Recommendations include how to mainstream gender in livestock research as a pathway out of poverty.Item Report of the LVIF gender working group on livestock vaccine value chain(2018-08-01) Bukachi, SalomePrevious livestock vaccine projects have largely focused on the technical aspects of vaccine development, distribution, and adoption rather than on gender issues. Gender has only been studied in a marginal fashion, for example, what are women’s perceptions or their adoption rates for the new vaccines. LVIF is now seeking to have gender as an entry point and to generate new evidence on how women can be empowered to participate and benefit from the livestock vaccine value chain in targeted countries.Item De-risk South East Asia(Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, 2018-11) Stefanski, RobertThe project aims to develop climate risk management systems in key SE Asia countries which include insurance products that help shield smallholder farmers and businesses in coffee, sugar, rice, cassava, rubber, dairy, and grazing, across the agricultural value chain. These products could protect smallholders from physical and financial disaster associated with climate change. For the development of insurance products, one of the challenges is to increase the level of awareness among farmers and policymakers about the potential role of insurance in risks transfer, including raising the awareness of insurance policy creators.Item Social analysis and action (SAA) : in food and nutrition security programming(2018-12) Abinet, Tasew; Berhane, Addisalem; Demmelash, Feteh; Hilegebrile, Mekbib; Demissie, Meseret; Deering, Karl; Darghawth, Rasha; Sahilu, Blen A.; Banso, KidistThe manual has compiled and developed Social Analysis and Action (SAA) training modules related to indicators of the domains of change for women’s empowerment in agriculture: Gender; Production; Resources; Income; Leadership; Time; Women as Farmers and Value for their Triple Roles; Gender-Based Violence, Prevention and Support; and Family Planning. The goal is to increase productivity and empowerment of women farmers in more equitable agriculture systems at scale. SAA is a facilitated process through which individuals and communities explore and challenge social and gender norms, beliefs, and practices, that shape their lives and are at the root of the development problems.Item Le volet qualitatif de l’Indice d'autonomisation des femmes dans l'élevage (WELI)(2019) Galiè, Alessandra; International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)Item SheVax+ : gender analysis and methodologies training manual 2019(2019) SheVax+This training manual is part of the SheVax+ project, used for gender analysis and methodologies training across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. Women bear primary responsibility for caring for diseased animals, and rely on the income their livestock provides. The program identifies gaps and opportunities towards empowering women small holder farmers and entrepreneurs. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Five Domains of Gender Analysis Framework captures data related to multiple barriers that impede women from benefiting from livestock vaccines, such as lack of access and control over assets and resources, lack of extension services, and unreliable structures for vaccine delivery.Item Mapping the livestock vaccine value chains through a gender and intersectionality lens : a tool for understanding and analysis(2019) University of FloridaUnderstanding how the livestock vaccine value chains work is key to improve vaccine delivery when it is needed. It is also critically important to analyze how gender intersects with other social markers (e.g., age, caste, ethnicity, livelihood) at each node of the value chain to better understand what barriers affect women's participation. This document showcases four livestock vaccine value chains in Nepal, Senegal and Uganda that were mapped in 2019. We encourage the use of the mapping approach with a Gendered lntersectional Transformative Approach (GITA) and these icons to analyze the vaccine value chains in other contexts.Item Qualitative component of the Women’s Empowerment in Livestock Index (WELI)(2019) Galiè, Alessandra; International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)This presentation contains questions asked and key points taken from focus group discussions.Item Trayectorias de cambio : la gestión del conocimiento para el aprendizaje y el cambio en la práctica(Ediciones Abya-Yala, 2019-02) Santandreu, Alain; Betancourt, Óscar F.; Betancourt C., Andrés; Ediciones Abya-YalaItem Livestock vaccine innovation fund : inception workshop for gender inclusive vaccine distribution and delivery systems projects : workshop held in Nairobi(2019-05) Nyangaga, JuliusThe workshop process was a combination of presentations, plenary and group discussions over the three days. It was attended by 28 participants from four project teams, led by a facilitator team drawn from IDRC Canadian and Kenyan representatives. Presentations covered quality vaccines and good handling practices; communication strategies; project management; training and awareness; vaccine value chain analysis; and joint research activities.Item Description of Eniacomorpha hermetiae Delvare sp. n. (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Chalcididae) a pupal parasitoid of Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera, Stratiomyidae), and a potential threat to mass production of the fly as a feed supplement for domestic animals(Magnolia Press, 2019-07-16) DELVARE, GÉRARD; COPELAND, ROBERT S.; TANGA, CHRYSANTUS M.Adult black soldier fly (BSF) Hermetia illucens are not pests, consume nothing but water or plant nectar, do not approach humans, do not bite or sting, and do not vector or disseminate any specific diseases. Hence, there is substantial interest in the use of BSF in organic waste management and as a feed supplement for domestic animals. One of the impediments to sustainable and successful mass production systems is parasitoids that attack BSF, and which may present a significant threat to BSF farming systems. This paper describes a parasitic wasp that may negatively impact efforts to mass produce BSF in Africa as a feed supplement for domestic animals.Item Gender inclusive vaccine ecosystem : enhancing distribution and delivery system for Newcastle disease and PPR among smallholder farmers : the GIVE project(2019-08-28) Bukachi, SalomeVaccines are important for control of livestock diseases yet their effective use is hampered by low levels of awareness, high acquisition costs, accessibility issues and unequal gender relations at household level. The presentation provides an overview of research objectives: to explore the socio-cultural, economic and technical barriers in access to Newcastle Disease (NCD) and pestes des petit ruminants (PPR) vaccines; to examine norms that hinder women from owning livestock, participating in and benefiting from livestock vaccines, and to establish vaccine knowledge among women farmers and their ability to use and benefit from vaccines.Item Gender integration training workshop report(2019-09-13) Bukachi, SalomeThe Gender Inclusive Vaccine Ecosystem (GIVE) project is focused on women smallholder farmers. This two-day gender interaction training workshop was conducted for the fifteen GIVE project team members. Workshop participants were provided with approaches to gender inclusivity and a detailed outline of “How to Do Gender Analysis” including the Harvard Framework. As well, socio-cultural aspects of family poultry production were discussed along with social and gender norms. This document provides a detailed agenda for the workshopItem Integrating temperature-dependent life table data into insect life cycle model for predicting the potential distribution of Scapsipedus icipe Hugel & Tanga(2019-09-25) Otieno, Magara H. J.; Ayieko, Monica A.; Niassy, Saliou; Salifu, Daisy; Abdelmutalab, Azrag G. A.; Doucet, DanielA new edible cricket species from Kenya of the genus Scapsipedus (Scapsipedus icipe Hugel & Tanga) is described through this study. Temperature-dependent development, survival, reproductive and life table parameters of S. icipe was generated and integrated into advanced Insect Life Cycle Modeling software to describe relative S. icipe population increase and spatial spread based on nine constant temperature conditions. Findings provide first-time important information on the impact of temperature on the biology, establishment and spread of S. icipe across the Africa continent. The prospect of edible S. icipe production to become a new sector in food and feed industry is discussed.Item Introduction à l'indice de l'autonomisation des femmes dans l'élevage WELI(2019-10) Galiè, Alessandra; Teufel, Nils; Korir, Luke; International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)Item Introduction to the women’s empowerment in livestock index WELI(2019-10) Galiè, Alessandra; Teufel, Nils; Korir, Luke; International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)This presentation covers the origin of the WELI, an overview of its structure, and information on how it is calculated.Item Report on training workshop for baseline data collection tools and pre-test exercise(2019-10-26) Bukachi, SalomeThe Gender Inclusive Vaccine Ecosystem (GIVE) project team organized a five-day data collection training workshop that involved a pretest exercise of the qualitative and quantitative tools to be used in the baseline survey.
