This document summarizes the key discussions and decisions from a Livestock and Fish Gender Team meeting in Italy in September 2014. It outlines the CRP's structure, including 5 flagship projects, and discusses strengthening gender mainstreaming across the program. The gender action plan's status and upcoming decisions are reviewed, including achieving a 10% gender budget target. A 'gender in the workplace' strategy is presented to reach 50% gender targets for CRP leadership and management by 2016. The CRP's theory of change is displayed, describing how research will translate into improved productivity, incomes, and nutrition through sustainable value chain transformations.

3. VCTS and SASI Flagships
• PPMC recommendation
– SASI to be more focused around thematic areas,
e.g.
• Value chain analysis/economics
• Policy and sectoral analysis: socio-economic trade-offs
• Environmental implications
• Gender
• Bio-economic modeling
• Impact assessment
• Learning
• VCTS needs science

4. Extension proposal
• Commitment to Activities and outputs defined in
the document
• Gender budget of 10%

5. Strengthening gender
IB10-3 / IB10-13

6. Gender action plan - status
1. Strengthening gender mainstreaming
o Identify gender mainstreamed activities
 CIAT has described well by Activity
 ILRI, WorldFish, ICARDA have provided amounts
 Will need to review to ensure consistency
To repeat for 2015 POWB
o Consultancy to assess mainstreaming opportunities
 KIT team engaged
o Special internal ILRI call for gender mainstreaming
To be managed by KIT, starting November

7. Gender action plan - status
2. Ensuring sufficient investment
o Plan for achieving 10% achieved
o But need supporting details for Consortium Office

8. Gender action plan - status
3. Targeting investment strategically
o Initial analysis not yet followed up with centres
4. Staffing plan
o Information received, not yet compiled
5. Mobilizing bilateral funding
o Consultants and candidate topics identified
6. Strengthening gender coordination
o ILRI senior scientist still being recruited
o Tracking system to be establish with 2015 POWB

9. Gender action plan - status
 Need required detail on gender-related activities and
budget – ILRI, ICARDA, WorldFish to provide in POWB
format
 Finalize analysis of CRP gender staffing relative to
balanced budget structure – Tom and Pat

10. Gender action plan - decisions
1. Appropriate title for Special Gender Program
2. Process for selecting Special Gender Program Leader
 PPMC nominations
 Research or management? Funded from host centre,
central management? 10% time?
3. Punitive action of a partner does not demonstrate
commitment to achieve 10% target
 No longer an issue for 2014

11. ‘Gender in the workplace’ strategy
• Align with emerging Consortium strategy for what the CRP
can influence: work towards 50% gender target in:
• CRP management unit when hiring
• SPAC when nominating
• PPMC -- can only encourage centres to consider
• CRP leadership when assigning Flagship Leaders and Value
Chain Coordinators
• Set incremental targets to reach 50%
