Summary of Feedback on the Training The training methods and content help us participants to capture skills that would enable as
to enhance the participation of women and men smallholders and female and male youth to ensure their benefits from the livestock sector
The training was participatory/interactive. It enabled as to identify constraint impeding women from benefiting from the livestock value chains. Above all it is also the male counterpart within the household context who can benefit more by facilitating better participation for women (wives) farmer in the livestock sector
The Ministry as it is a new one deserves praise for organizing such useful training for the directors and experts. The training delivery and level of participation of trainees was nothing to none
Although the majority of women and the youth were organized to engage themselves from the livestock sector; there are skills related gaps including business plan preparation. We need to focus on such soft skills in the long run.
The training is good. We need also give emphasis on the fishery value chain separately to gain in depth knowledge like that of the rest of the commodities within the livestock sector
Closing and Way Forward H. E. Ato Sileshi Getahun, Minister for The Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries made a closing remark and gave recommendations for actions to the participants; the following points were the summary of the way forward stated by H.E. the Minister:
5
Capitalizing on Women and Youth inclusive livestock value chain development is a priority policy issue endorsed and prioritized by the Ethiopian government in its second Growth and Transformation Programme (GTP II)
The training organized by the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, Women’s and Youth Directorate has the objective of providing new skills on the methods and approaches of developing market oriented women and youth inclusive livestock and fish value chains
All directorates in the Ministry are expected to practically reach extension and development agents located at different levels by cascading the skills gained from the training
Although women and youth may have access to relatively smaller plots of land, however, there is a possibility of transforming the production system through introducing appropriate livestock technologies, by focusing on marketable commodities and through ensuring inclusive extension services to reach out women and youth
All Livestock commodities are marketable and subject to trigger higher demand over time and investing skill and other resources on the sector will have high return in the short and long run
The Livestock sector need to create employment for women and youth. Therefore this government directive can be achieved only if all directorates, experts and decision makers could able to engage in gender and youth inclusive planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of achievements and outcomes periodically
Institutional innovation, transformation, accountability on women and youth related development efforts and putting in place the necessary human resources with clear job descriptions are expected from the Federal Ministry as well as up to regional, zonal and district levels.
Addressing gender related concerns and development goals is not only a means to reach the half (50%) of Ethiopian society, it is much more than that as there is no value chain in the livestock sector that could successfully be done without the participation, skill and value addition contributed by women. Thus, women in both married and women led households need to participate and benefit.
Involving couples (husband and wife) as an innovative and inclusive approach would enable the ministry to reach women 100%. Thus, let us encourage our experts at different level to capitalize on this and to change exiting gender inequality.
All those who contributed for the realization of the training workshop expect outcomes that can be measured and indicate the transform the livestock and fishery sector to be made over time.
Participants of the training and other key partners need to work towards meeting the vision of the country to reach at the stage of middle income nation in 2017 E. C. (2026/7 G.C.).
Finally H.E. the Minister thanked LIVES project for its partnership and for facilitating the training and the field visit for the training participants

Points of interest/follow up A good opportunity for LIVES to use share scalable gender and youth inclusive livestock value chain lessons, approaches, methods and strategies for federal and regional entities
The capacity development support for the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries paves the way for ILRI in the long run to collaborate and work in close partnership on new projects and initiatives
Demand is already created from federal and regional directorates to further explore knowledge related resources from ILRI LIVES to strengthen the ministry
Most of the regional training participants were drawn from LIVES intervention regions ( Amhara, Tigray, Oromia and SNNPR) and could be easily adopt LIVES outcomes beyond intervention districts and zones
