Understanding Men: Insights on Motivators and Barriers to Transforming Men’s Gender Roles for Improved Maternal, Infant, Young Child, and Adolescent Nutrition

This report presents findings from the analysis of the qualitative dataset collected as part of the Lishe Endelevu Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE). The analysis focused on gaining insights on whether and how Lishe Endelevu’s interventions are supporting a transformation of gender roles—particularly men’s gender roles in a way that is beneficial to maternal, infant, young child and adolescent nutrition outcomes in the zone of intervention. Understanding men’s motivators and barriers to gender role transformation was a special emphasis in the analysis in light of Lishe Endelevu’s continued challenges in engaging men in program interventions.
