 * Sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems to improve food security and farm income diversification in the Ethiopian highlands **
 * Project Design Workshop **
 * 30 January - 2 February 2012, Addis Ababa Ethiopia **


 * World cafe on gaps - Gender (Katherine Snyder) **

This workshop provides an opportunity for a broad group of important stakeholders to both learn about the project plans and to share their views on expectations from and opportunities for synergies with the project (days 1 and 2) and for the core project team to finalize the project details (days 3 and 4).

**How to integrate gender in the work of this project**: > 
 * Farm-level decision-making within household-gendered entry point;
 * Gender and age - schooling / labor
 * Gendered assets: focus on livestock
 * Gendered groups such as S+L
 * Gendered impact of intensification
 * Dependency ratio - producers / consumers. Gender + age.
 * Gender + religion / gender ideology;
 * Income goes up, money goes out (man spends it)
 * Who gets the money in case of bigger income-generating activities?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Does empowerment cause conflict?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Depends on how the change occurs
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Depends on household characteristics
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Trade-offs for gender/age equity (using manure for soil fertility instead of fuel)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Livestock: choice of commodity makes a difference (small ruminants often managed by women, but may not make money from marketing)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Agro-forestry (important that it provides opportunities for both)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Women: fruit/fuel trees as sources of nutrition (have own criteria)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Men: Wood for pole / wood for cash
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Mode farmer selection (important to include female-headed households)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">How to incorporate in the workplan? Gender should be incorporated by specifying percentage;
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">**Opportunities**:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Target women's activities/assets
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Governance and leadership
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">**Challenges**:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Established (cultural) norms
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Potential negativeimpacts.
