Spermiogenesis or Spermateleosis or metamorphosis of spermatid
Strategic Research Theme: Extension
1. Table 1 – Strategic Research Theme: Extension
Extension /
Veterinary
services for
smallholders
Objectives: To improve the livelihoods of women and smallholders through providing
targeted gender specific extension services
Research Question:
- Needs assessment for gender inclusiveness in extension system
- What are the constraints, opportunities for women in extension system?
- How the extension system is functioning in the region?
- What are the institutional arrangements for extension services?
- Identify best practices and lessons learnt to mainstreaming gender tin the extension
system?
- How and who in the extension system negotiates trade-offs in harmonizing priories?
- How can women’s access to information with regards to production/scientists’
technologies improve?
- Are the technologies harming women, increasing labour?
- Level and extend of the gender considerations in national and regional level extension
policies
- What are the technology which facilitate agricultural development and income
generation / labour saving to women and youth?
Geographical Location (s) All Flagships
Type of methods used:
- Literature review
- Survey of actors involved along the extension system, e.g. the ministries of agriculture,
extension agencies, the linkage between research and extension
- Survey Instruments (pilot testing, numerators’ training) (2-3 months)
- Qualitative data (PRA and focus groups) (ongoing)
- Data entry and cleaning (ongoing)
- Data analysis (ongoing)
Gender research dimension (if relevant): Considered in research questions
Linkages to other CRPs (if relevant): CRP PIM
Research Outputs:
Gender-disaggregated extension services
needs documented - (2016)
Constraints and opportunities for
extension system improvement identified
by gender categories (ongoing 2014-
2016)
Research paper in ISI journal (preferably
on methodology) (2016)
Research report (2015)
Gender responsive extension technology
package developed [veterinary, labour
saving, high-yield, small-scale, etc.]
Gender balanced capacity building
strategies of extensionists developed
Research Outcomes:
Gender responsive extension technology
package integrated in the extension
system
Advocacy of gender sensitive approaches
adopted in national / regional level
policies
10 % increase of women participation in
extension system by 2016
