This report, titled Empowering women in Egypt's livestock and dairy subsectors – A gender-transformative approach to climate resilience and economic inclusion, investigates the critical role of women in Egypt’s livestock and dairy industries amidst escalating climate change pressures. It provides an in-depth gender analysis, focusing on women’s economic participation, challenges, and climate adaptation strategies within these vital agricultural subsectors. While the study acknowledges the importance of household power dynamics and social norms, its primary focus is on resource access and women's roles as foundational elements for broader gender-transformative change aimed at dismantling systemic inequalities.The research primarily aims to assess the gender-specific impacts of climate change on Egypt’s livestock and dairy subsectors. It seeks to pinpoint barriers to women's effective engagement in climate-related initiatives and to propose gender-sensitive adaptation strategies. Specific objectives include evaluating women’s access to resources, their decision-making authority and adaptive capacities, as well as formulating evidence-based policy recommendations to advance gender equity in climate resilience programmes.
