The workshop was organized by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in collaboration with the Cambodia National Animal Health and Production Research Institute (NAHPRI) and the Centre for Livestock and Agriculture Development (CelA). The workshop aimed to enhance the capacity of participants in understanding and addressing gender issues in livestock systems. The objectives of the workshop were to understand and be comfortable with gender concepts, identify gender issues and solutions, develop a gender plan, and increase capacity to address gender issues in livestock projects and programs. The workshop was facilitated by Nicoline de Haan, a senior researcher and leader of the gender team at ILRI. The training sessions were designed to introduce participants to general concepts of gender and sex, provide a background on livestock and livelihoods in Cambodia, and discuss gender issues in the country. The participants were encouraged to think of how each workshop session could be applied to their work and how best to share the workshop information with colleagues. Day 1 focused on introducing participants to gender concepts, mapping livestock value chains, and identifying gender gaps and opportunities for interventions. The participants started to work on mapping the value chain and identifying areas of work and gaps. Day 2 focused on engaging participants in learning about the importance of gender analysis, providing tools for doing simple gender analysis, and integrating gender issues into project design and evaluation. The facilitator, Nicoline de Haan, has over 15 years of expertise in gender, rural livelihoods, and natural resource management. She has a Master's degree in development sociology from Wageningen Agricultural University and a PhD in rural sociology from the University of Missouri, Colombia.
