In the study counties, women were concentrated in retail vending while men dominated transportation and hawking. Domestic care responsibilities, gendered perceptions of appropriate work, and unequal access to productive assets and finance shape the growth of women’s businesses, women vendors’ empowerment and their compliance. Such gendered inequalities in access to finance, safe handling equipment, training, and household decision-making also constrain women vendors’ capacity to invest in safer milk handling and to meet dairy compliance requirements. MoreMilk2 certification scheme, training, and equipment/finance support should therefore be designed to address these gendered barriers so that improvements in milk safety and regulatory compliance and resultant benefits to business. cg.contributor.programAccelerator: Sustainable Animal and Aquatic Foods Mon, 19 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://hdl.handle.net/10568/1861532026-10-19T00:00:00ZAchandi, Esther L.Jumba, HumphreyGatei, RachelGaliè, AlessandraKibet, GeorgeAlonso, SilviaWomen are central to informal milk vending in Kenya, but restrictive gender norms continue to shape who undertakes different roles, how milk is sourced, who can comply with regulations, and who benefits economically.

Tarawali outlines key priorities for the sector's transformation, including improving farmers’ access to knowledge, inputs and finance, and strengthening biosecurity and food safety systems. She also emphasizes the need for more efficient, climate-smart livestock production and the role of inclusive models (such as cooperatives and stronger value chains) in ensuring smallholder farmers benefit from modernization.. The interview also features perspectives from experts and partners working on livestock development in Vietnam. The interview was conducted during the Regional Conference on Sustainable Livestock Transformation in Food Systems in Asia and the Pacific, held in Hanoi on 24–26 March 2026. The event was co-hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment of Vietnam (MAE), International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and CIRAD.
