SUMMARY:World Congress on Innovations for Livestock Development
DESCRIPTION:The 1st World Congress on Innovations for Livestock Development (1st WCILD) aims to provide a platform for scientist\, innovators and entrepreneurs to present\, and share findings and experiences on how the latest developments in science and technology have shaped development of innovations utilized in livestock to efficiently produce high quality\, safe and sustainable food and non food products.  \nThe 1st WCLID presents an opportunity for presentation of how scientific and technical achievements in livestock sciences have been translated into practice. Special focus will be on how generated scientific knowledge has been utilized in developing innovations for use in smallholder systems and also adoption to indigenous livestock based production systems. \nConsequently\, the congress will feature leading scientists\, producers and policymakers who will review the current state of knowledge and innovations in livestock genetics and breeding\, animal health\, application of biotechnology in reproduction and livestock feeding and nutrition. Further\, effects of the role of gender and climate change in utilization of science and technology\, and development of innovations for use in livestock systems will be discussed. The programme is organized to also allow for exhibitions by companies in the field of animal production.\nBesides the well planned scientific programme\, an exciting social programme has been prepared to give delegates the opportunity to explore some of the scenic sites in Kenya during their stay in Nakuru. A welcome reception and congress dinner are planned as an avenue for participants to network while enjoying the Kenyan cuisine\, culture and warm hospitality. \nCongress theme\nThe overall theme for the congress is “Fostering Innovations for the Livestock Industry” \nThe congress will cover the following sub themes: \n\nInnovative Input System: In this sub theme\, a transformative approach to livestock production focusing on innovative use of technology for enhanced livestock productivity will be presented. Papers on technology use in livestock systems will be presented. This will range from innovations and technologies that enhance efficiency input use\, high animal productivity\, reproductively and survival as well as food safety from both developing and developed countries.\nSustainable Production Systems: Papers in this sub theme will focus on livestock production systems that are responsive to climate change. Presentations will be on innovations that enhance the systems resilience to climate change as well as systems that reduce the impacts of livestock on climate. In view of these papers on systems that reduce green house gas emissions\, waste management and nutrient cycling in the systems are encouraged.\nMarketing and Agri-Business: This sub theme is dedicated to papers that analyse the livestock value chain with the view of eliciting discussion on enhancing the efficiency of livestock marketing and business.\nFood quality and Safety: in this sub theme\, innovations and technologies that enhance quality and safety of livestock products for food will be presented. In addition\, the safety and quality of livestock by products such as hides and skins etc. will also be presented.\nRole of Gender in Enhancing Innovations in the Livestock Industry (Gender Equity): Gender is a critical crosscutting issue in livestock production. a deeper understanding of association between gender and application of technologies and utilization of innovations in farms is critical for the transformation of the livestock sector. This sub theme is therefore dedicated to presentations that elucidate gender as a major cross cutting issue in the livestock industry.\n\nFor more information and registration\, visit the conference website. \n

SUMMARY:Training Course on Gender Integration in Food & Nutrition Security
DESCRIPTION:\nThis training course “Gender Integration in Food & Nutrition Security” provides guidance on how to design and implement agriculture policies and programmes that are gender-responsive\, sustainable\, contributing to gender equality\, and therefore able to improve food and nutrition security. \nWomen in developing countries play a crucial role in meeting the food and nutrition needs of their families through the three pillars of food security which are; food production\, economic access to food\, and nutrition security. Despite women’s importance\, they are constrained by lower access to land\, credit and extension advice\, as well as by domestic responsibilities. These constraints have consequences for productivity\, efficiency and environmental sustainability. To address these\, different approaches can be taken to make the design of agricultural projects gender-sensitive. \nTraining Objective\nAt the end of the training\, the learner will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the gender-differentiated roles in agriculture and food security.\nUnderstand the gender-differentiated impacts in agriculture and food security.\nIdentify the gender gaps in the agricultural sector that make women particularly vulnerable to food insecurity as well as show they hinder agricultural development in rural communities.\nIdentify appropriate responses to close the gender gap in the agricultural sector in order to achieve gender equality and food security.\nUnderstand the need and options for integrating of gender perspectives into agricultural and food security policies.\nUnderstand and minimize gender barriers in the food industry.\n\nTopics to be covered\nOverview of gender concepts and principles \n\nClosing the gender gap in the food industry\nGender roles in a vibrant food and nutritional security\nGender discrimination and gender equality\nGender dimensions of food and nutrition security\n\nGender Access to \n\nQuality extension services\nAgricultural land\nMarkets and finances\nHousehold’s food\n\nGender in food and nutrition security policy and legislation \n\nInternational commitments on gender equality\nGender statistics for informing policy and legislation\nProducing gender statistics\nFormulating gender-responsive food and nutrition security policies\nTranslating national food and nutrition security policies into a gender-responsive plan of action\nGender advocacy for food and nutrition security\n\nGender in food and nutrition security programming \n\nConducting a gender analysis for programme design\nDesigning gender-responsive food and nutrition security projects and programmes\nGender and programme implementation\nAddressing gender in organizations working on food and nutrition security\n\nGender-sensitive monitoring and evaluation for food and nutrition security \n\nIntroduction to M&E in Gender and food security\nPrioritizing gender in M&E plans\nExploring gender in M&E plans in nutrition\nSelecting indicators to measure gender related outputs and outcomes\nGender considerations for data collection\, interpretation and use\nImpact of food distribution on genders’ vulnerability\n\nMore information\nFor more information on the methodology\, facilitation\, fees and registration\, visit the website or contact (function(){var ml="c.a4hlnCogs-30iEAeutk%Fp2Dmdrf"\,mi="E6DEHHE
