Integrating Gender into Agricultural Value Chains: Experiences from Kenya and Tanzania (Presentation)

Cristina Manfre of Development and Training Services and Deborah Rubin of Cultural Practice presented "Integrating Gender into Agricultural Value Chains: Experiences from Kenya and Tanzania." The seminar was the 41st installment of the Linking Small Firms to Competitiveness Strategies Breakfast Seminar Series sponsored by the USAID Microenterprise Development office.

Instead of looking at the common approach to addressing gender in value chains (production, market, consumption) and retrofitting women into it, the Gender Access to Trade Expansion (GATE) project enhances existing USAID trade and economic growth activities by helping Missions to address gender considerations in their programming and implementation efforts.
