In PASIDP II intervention areas women specifically would be helped to: (i) access irrigation schemes; (ii) enhance their skills in irrigated farming, with particular reference to production of high value crops; (iii) enhance women\u2019s representation on IWUAs, FRGs and cooperatives, and strengthening of their leadership capacity; (iv) access financial support through MFIs and RuSACCOs; (v) FRGs and extension groups for women; (vi) access labor-saving technologies, (vii) nutrition-sensitive agriculture and home gardens for women. In addition, the gender approach will be based on: (a) quotas if required, at least 40 % of women among beneficiaries of the various activities; (b) Transformative Household Methodologies to ensure women participation and to enhance gender equality; (c) monitoring of women participation in activities; (d) gender training for program implementers.<\/p>

Targeting is achieved through a range of communally accepted criteria geared to encourage active participation of more vulnerable groups in the decision making processes. To realize this targeting the program has identified 3 key activities to be achieved: one is ensuring 50% Women participation on trainings, 2nd ensuring at least 30% of women participation in farmers\u2019 organizations committee membership of such as Irrigation Water Users Associations (IWUA), Irrigation Inputs & Marketing cooperatives (IIPMCs) Watershed management committees and others; and the 3rd is at least 20% women in FHHs and 30% women in MHHs benefited from program interventions (technology) demonstrations.<\/p>

The concept of GMF is conceived in the idea that \u201clife has to change completely.\u201d Gender relations of power and control are changed when men and women become models for gender equality, recognizing that men and women should enjoy the same Rights and Opportunities.\u00a0 A GMF approach is made up of a husband, wife and their children who want to be models for Change and Transformation in Society by challenging traditional notions of gender roles and responsibilities. Having a number of GMFs in a given community transforms that community. That is, as we create more GMF beneficiaries, more women and men start to question some of the reasons for their relationships and actions, and decide to bring about changes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The most important approach which can help extension workers reach females in male headed households is community awareness creation & consultation on gender mainstreaming via GMF. Thus, the program has started to strengthen the implementation of GMF demonstration in 13 schemes on 650 households in this fiscal year. The second round of GMF demonstration training for beneficiaries is now underway, with the goal of scaling out to other potential neighbors and colleagues. So, 690 HHs have been identified and consulted thus far, and the second phase of training has been conducted. As the Gender Model Family approach has been implemented in the Amhara region at three schemes since 2019, Gedeb 4 SSIP GMF beneficiaries who have made significant changes in their households and villages have been recognized and graduated, as well as experience sharing among the program regions (Oromia, Sidama, and SNNP) and the hosting region woredas. The gender model family (GMF) approach reached 524 pioneers and 1087 extended households for a total of 1602 households across the program regions.<\/p>

Success Stories<\/strong><\/p>
