PARE Gender and Youth Inclusion Report
- Women are less likely to manage cattle and are most involved in the management of poultry.
- Households with male-only management tend to have substantially larger herd sizes than those with female-only management within the cattle and goat/sheep value chains.
- Men have higher yield than either women or youth due to more offtake as well as their higher rate of keeping improved breeds.
- Accessing credit was overwhelmingly mentioned as the top barrier for youth in strengthening and expanding their livestock activities.
- Male-headed households are generally better able to recover from shocks and stressors than female-headed households.
Land O’Lakes Venture37 conducted a Gender and Youth Inclusion (GYI) Analysis for the five-year Programme d’Appui a la Rentabilisation de l’Elevage (PARE) project, funded by USAID. The GYI Analysis documents the current status, constraints and opportunities for male, female, and youth livestock producers and their communities in the Northern and Southern RFZs. The analysis utilized data from the PARE Baseline Assessment, a mixed-method approach that collected sex-disaggregated quantitative data from a representative sample of livestock producer households in the Northern and Southern RFZs through a Producer Household Survey, as well as qualitative data from male, female and youth producers, community leaders and other stakeholders. The findings from this study in conjunction with the Baseline Assessment and Livestock Market System Analysis will inform a Gender and Youth Strategy as part of the Livestock Market Systems Resilience Strategy (LMSRS) that will drive PARE implementation.
