Gender inequalities in the dairy value chain in Tanzania cannot be over emphasized. A desk
review of (29) published and (32) gray literature was done to analyze gender inequalities in
the Tanzanian dairy value chain from independence to date. Lack of sex disaggregated data
used for monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment of the interventions soon after
independence was among the outcome of the study. Further, women, unlike men, lack skills
for enhancing dairy income generation owing to their limited access to training and other
technologies. The study concludes that the Tanzania’s dairy value chain is predominantly
gender aware, but stuck at a place where gender issues identified are not dealt with. The
projects also appear to have a low commitment to address the gender issues identified which
could be due to a low political will or a low capacity to collect sex disaggregated data,
conduct gender analysis of the recommended interventions that will narrow the gender gaps
and implement these recommendations.
The authors recommend projects to recruit gender experts and train project staff on the
economic benefits of integrating gender and how to mainstream gender in projects including
collecting sex disaggregated data, analyzing it by gender and how to develop indicators to
measure progress. The projects should be informed by comprehensive gender
mainstreaming strategies that indicate how gender will be mainstreamed at every step of the
project cycle. Ways of creating space for and maintaining women in male dominating nodes
of the dairy value chain should be sought, tested and applied by research and development
actors. |
