Gender capacity assessment feedback and validation report for the small ruminant value chain in Ethiopia

Abstract

Gender Capacity Assessment (GCA) was conducted in April - May, 2015 with six research and development partners of ILRI/ICARDA to give momentum to the implementation of strategic interventions that will directly address the gender gaps in agriculture. In order to validate the results, a feedback session was conducted with each assessed partner organization with the following objectives: i) To provide feedback on the results of the gender capacity assessment and collect comments on the outcomes of the assessment; ii) To identify intervention points based on partners’ priorities that could be used to develop a gender capacity development (CD) plan for each partner with clear objectives, activities, expected results, indicators, roles/responsibilities, and a budget; iii) To form a gender CD committee & select focal persons who will facilitate and coordinate the organization’s gender CD plan and ensure exchange of information and documentation.
