Description
Summary:The report documents a county-level training in Nakuru that used gender-transformative, participatory methods to improve nutrition practices and link them to gender-transformative socio-technical innovation bundles (GTSTIBs). Convened by the Alliance, KALRO and county partners, the workshop gathered 63 participants (59% women) from 11 sub-counties. Group work and role-plays surfaced gendered buying, cooking and food-sharing norms, consumption hierarchies, and taboos that limit women’s and children’s access to nutrient-dense foods. Nutrition sessions stressed the ten food groups and tailored needs for vulnerable groups, and connected dietary diversity to intercropping, biofortified beans and WCIS. Recommendations span follow-up trainings, integrating content into extension, policy institutionalization, and routine outcome tracking.
