Abstract Within the Kenyan dairy sector, climate change mitigation interventions are striving to sustainably intensify milk production while addressing the gender dynamics that mediate farmers’ ability to effectively participate in, and benefit from, low emissions development. In order to better understand these gender dynamics, household surveys were deployed by the East African Dairy Development (EADD) program to collect information on current practices of decision-making, resources, and labor dynamics within dairy farm households. Using the EADD survey results as secondary data, this study analyzes emergent patterns in these domains among cattle-keeping households in Bomet, Nandi, Uasin Gishu, and Kericho counties in Western Kenya. In analyzing these patterns, paired sample tests revealed statistically significant differences in results based on the gender of the respondent. While there were some categories that women and men reported on similarly, other areas were hotly contested. These results provide important challenges, both methodologically and programmatically, in interpreting gender dynamics across these domains. This paper reflects on the challenges and the opportunities of these data for informing gender-equitable low emissions development in the Kenyan dairy sector.

肯尼亚乳制品行业家庭动态的性别报告:低排放乳制品发展的趋势和影响

摘要 在肯尼亚乳制品行业,气候变化减缓干预措施正在努力可持续地提高牛奶生产,同时解决影响农民有效参与低排放发展并从中受益的性别动态。为了更好地了解这些性别动态,东非乳业发展 (EADD) 计划部署了家庭调查,以收集有关奶牛场家庭当前决策、资源和劳动力动态的信息。本研究使用 EADD 调查结果作为辅助数据,分析了肯尼亚西部 Bomet、Nandi、Uasin Gishu 和 Kericho 县养牛家庭在这些领域的新兴模式。在分析这些模式时,配对样本测试揭示了基于受访者性别的结果在统计学上的显着差异。虽然有些类别的女性和男性报告类似,但其他领域的竞争也很激烈。这些结果为解释这些领域的性别动态提供了重要的挑战,无论是方法上还是程序上。本文反映了这些数据在为肯尼亚乳制品行业的性别平等低排放发展提供信息方面面临的挑战和机遇。
