This study has been produced with the overall goal to document and analyse exisiting best practices in the field of RWHI management in sub-Saharan Africa, with a special focus on Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. This is meant to determine the suitability of RWHI management under multivariate biophysical and socioeconomic conditions. The best practices include specific information and know-how on the performance, cost-efficiency and impacts of RWHI technologies.
These recommendations are a compilation of 2 regional studies at sub-Saharan Africa level which focused on research and technology transfer in the field of rainwater harvesting irrigatio nmanagement on one hand (section 3), and effective policy recommendations on the use of rainwater for off-season small-scale irrigation on the other (section 4). The regional studies upon which this transnational study is based come from the analysis of national studies in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
These advanced training materials have been produced to foster the capacity of practitioners from private, nongovernmental and public sectors on one hand, and academics and scientists on the other, to practically implement cost-efficient RWHI technologies and practices in arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, these training materials intend to provide the required information to support proper planning, design and construction of cost-efficient RWHI technologies and practices, with special emphasis on the specific problems encountered in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
These training materials have been produced to foster the capacity of key members of local communities to practically implement RWHI systems in a cost-efficient manner. The specific target group of these capacity building materials are local community members who are directly involved in the replication and scale-up of RWHI technologies and practices, i.e.
Este documento tiene como propósito aportar elementos de análisis de género en las cadenas de valor para identificar potencialidades y limitaciones de las mujeres dentro de las cadenas, la relación con la autonomía económica y el impacto en la mejora de sus capacidades para generar recursos propios, controlar activos y propiciar la plena participación en las decisiones que afectan sus vidas y entorno.
Esta cartilla describe el enfoque de género del Programa Agroambiental Mesoamericano (MAP). Habla de la importancia de transversalizar el enfoque de equidad de género y describe las acciones de género que fueran realizadas en el nivel local con familias
This report is part of the AFRHINET project under the ACP-EU Cooperation Programme in Science and Technology (S&T II). The overall aims of the project are to enhance options for sustainable integration of rainwater harvesting for irrigation through understanding adoption constraints and developing networks for capacity building and technology transfer. The African partners are Addis Ababa University and WaterAid-Ethiopia in Ethiopia, University of Nairobi and ICRAF-Searnet in Kenya, Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique, and University of Zimbabwe and ICRISAT-Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe.
The goal of this tool is to help facilitators examine the roles that women and men play in an innovation partnership and to better integrate their specific needs and priorities in the interventions planned for the innovation partnership. Gender analysis of the innovation partnership can also be done throughout project implementation to monitor how men and women are integrated and benefit from the project and to reduce the gender gaps.
Este panfeto describr las experiencias del Proyecto innovaciones Hortalizas. El proyecto ha consolidado acciones con enfoque de equidad de género en diferentes niveles (familias, organizaciones y plataformas institucionales) con el propósito de promover la participación e inserción de hombres y mujeres con igualdad y equidad en todas sus fases de implementación. Todas las acciones están orientadas a alcanzar mayor participación en los espacios políticos (organizaciones, juntas directivas), espacios económicos (mercados y cadenas) y acceso a formación y desarrollo de capacidades.
Este documento es una síntesis de las experiencias del Proyecto Innovaciones en Cadenas de Valor de Hortalizas Especiales en la región del Trifinio (Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras), durante el período 2009-2012 y busca contribuir al fortalecimiento de la toma de decisiones para la promoción y la incorporación transversal del enfoque de género en las distintas esferas institucionales.
