The farmers of the future: including the family
Strategies Agenda setting: campaigning Supporting Southern partners Co-creating with private sector and other stakeholders: Joint proposal + funding Joint implementation (ej PPP) Monitoring, Learning, Measuring impact Next level: lobby to scale up, adress new topics from evaluation

Strategy: Co-creation
Strategies Financing and implementing PPPs Examples: WEMAN programme Oxfam-Novib Coffee Partnership for Tanzania : Secure and Sustainable Smallholder Systems at scale
Strategy PPP Implemention: Change in 6 months The story of Dinnah Before: widow, beaten up by relatives when husband died, took her land away Interventions: gender action learning After: new teeth – new confidence Elected in board of cooperative union
Strategy Implementation: Results WEMAN Africa KEY AREAS OF CHANGE 35,000 vulnerable women and men in Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria and Zimbabwe: Benefits more equally shared Emergency sales reduced; better health, education More equal division productive – reproductive tasks men and women Women more secure access to land, resulting in higher productivity and better quality of produce Stronger farmer associations Reduced ad-hoc trade RESULTS Uganda : 3600 coffee farmers Organic and FT certified; 76 % certificates in name of husband and wife 69 % of 3600 coffee producers share productive and reproductive tasks 48 % of the households women’s landrigths been formally acknowledged Coffee traders ad-hoc trading reduced Large buyers value work women in hand sorting and improving working conditions
Strategy Implementation: Lessons learnt Changing gender inequalities makes business sense; Changing gender relations and norms does not have to take generations. With a critical mass of participants a momentum and movement is created; Win-win strategies between vulnerable and more powerful chain actors are possible; Gender Action Learning System is a complementary methodology. Used stand-alone, it requires a complementary programme to address issues of asset-poor Critical organisational factors in local partners determine how fast impact can be made (decision making structure, organisational policies, effectiveness of linkages with government and private sector) Self-M&E by vulnerable actors needs to be complemented with external M&E Monogamous married couples quicker to increase incomes and welfare than particularly asset-poor women (widows, single mothers, co- wives in polygamous HH)

Conclusion Climate change is caused by and impacts men and women differently: they have different solutions (nutrient-, water-, carbon- balanced and biodiversity) Gender approach: Access and control over resources and benefits, decision making, equal division of labour) - > generic tools Scalable: pyramid scaling by farmers, NGOs and private sector facilitate learning, monitor scaling and impact Finance: multi- and bi-lateral donors, private sector, NGOs, producer organisations; when impact measured can use W+ standard to sell gender credits
