Brief about EADD
Project Objectives and Gender related milestones
The baseline study and how it informed implementation
A snap shot of implementation progress & results
Next steps
EADD in brief
• A 4 (& ½) years smallholder dairy project
• Vision is to double dairy income in 179,000 families
• Knowledge based interventions to:
• Sustainably increase dairy productivity & efficiency
• Expand dairy markets and increase access
• Through the dairy hub approach
• Countries: Kenya, Rwanda & Uganda
• A consortium of partners led by Heifer International, Technoserve, ILRI, ICRAF and ABS
• Funded by BMGF
Cornerstone of the project: the hub
approach
Project Objectives
To generate information for informed decision-
making
To expand dairy markets and increase market
access for smallholder farmers
To sustainably increase dairy productivity and
efficiency
A number of Gender milestones BUT:
Most not clear e.g. 70,000 women trained on full
participation in groups
No corresponding strategies identified
And therefore no budget/resources set aside
Baseline study done!
Examined gendered:
◦ Ownership patterns of selected assets
◦ Access to selected services & technologies
◦ Household decision making patterns
◦ Participation in collective action- cooperatives
It was weak in the sense that:
◦ Gendered labor patterns were not examined
◦ Relied on responses from one member of HH
◦ Not enough gender disaggregation of data
◦ Report didn’t mainstream gender in each BS
component- instead a stand alone report
Gender strategy developed
◦ Informed by the baseline and other implementation
observations
◦ Identified key issues & strategies:
Household level dynamics and production
Participation in farmer marketing groups
Participation chilling plants & bulking sites
Project staff attitude and capacity
◦ Set backs
Delayed implementation of interventions; e.g
Recruitment of Gender & Agriculture specialist
Readjustment of operational budgets and plan
Implementation progress and Results
EADD Mid Term Evaluation findings
on gender
Women are adequately represented in leadership positions in the project as well as individual hubs.
Gender balance has been achieved among project staff, and Executive Committees.
Female participants in almost all areas are directly receiving technical training in dairy skills, participating in cross-visits, and acting as model farmers and trainers
However, less progress in extending the economic benefits to women at the individual household level.
Mainly due to long-standing cultural and economic factors.

Challenges & Next steps Challenges:
◦ Difficulty to get women as service providers
◦ Women elected in Boards do not hold highest
positions
◦ The concept of cattle ownership becomes fuzzy!
◦ M & E- gender disaggregation, reporting &
documentation.
Next step;
◦ Can GAAP support an evaluation of EADD
activities on women access to related assets?
◦ This would inform design of a possible EADD2
