Maziwa Zaidi (More Milk) in Tanzania Reinforcing participation of women in dairy production and marketing in TanzaniaAlice Njehu, Amos Omore and Alessandra Galie  (ILRI)Key messages• Women in smallholder production are at the center of improving food security and livelihoods.• Women play big roles as managers and drivers of dairy value chains at the production level.• Gender empowerment efforts should be directedto enhance shared benefits within households.• Training and innovations should target people according to often gender-specific livestock-related tasks.Opportunities to invest and scale• Public investors can take advantage of women’s role in dairy production with the realized increase in cattle ownership and engagement in labour activities.  This can be achieved through dairy management training. An outcome that will impact not only the household but also the national economy.• Private investors can expand the formal markets by investing in bulking and cooling centers through which dairy farmers can market their milk and also access inputs and services for sustainable dairy business. PicturesKey results• 10% of the studied households had women owning at least a piece of land. • Observable shift in livestock ownership from the household male (baseline) to joint ownership in monitoring survey (>57% of households).• Household acquisition and disposal of livestockdetermined by men (reported by >47% and >63%households respectively) (Fig 1).• Joint (men and women) decision making observed on milk revenues from formal buyers (Fig 2).• Milking, processing and selling of milk were mainly by women while animal grazing was mainly overseen by men and boys.This document is licensed for use under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence.
