Gender capacity assessment of the African chicken genetic gains project partners in Ethiopia

The gender capacity assessment in Ethiopia, which took place in December 2016, analysed the current gender capacities against desired future gender capacities of the African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) partners. It measured six core gender capacities at organizational and at individual (staff) levels of all six engaged national and regional research institutes. These capacities are assessed in relation to the environmental (contextual) level; the institutional and policy environment that enables or disables the other capacities. For the latter, public and private sector partners of the ACGG implementers, including gender experts, were interviewed. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored the project.
