This Master thesis initally raised the question how women and men can be strengthened in processing of green leafy vegetables (GLV) to provide a better diet. The Scale-N project aims to provide nutrition security for the rural population in Tanzania. In general GLV are an important source of minerals and vitamins. By improving porcessing methods, nutritional value of dried GLV can be raised. A lack of vegetables can lead to imbalanced dieds, which is a problem in Chinoje and Mzula. Moreover, improving the nutritional value through improved processing technologies can lead to a better diet for all family members, because everyone is consuming them frequenlty. As long as women are still disadvantaged in resources such as land acces, gender equality can not exist through the whole GLV value chain. The people in Chinoje and Mzula are mainly small scale farmers and get their knowledge from older family members. Therefore, through adapting more scientifically grounded GLV processing knowledge, the process might be improved and will potentially leads to a more conscious way of operating. The inhabitants form the two villages are applying mainly indigenous processing technologies. Furthermore, to nurish the family throughout the whole year is time intensive. The vegetables are a side dish and consequently the preperation has to be fast and easy. In the sexual division of labour inequalitites were identified; processing of GLV is culturally a responsibility of women according to the Gogo tribe. Considering the nutritional value of processed GLV, which is important to nurish the whole family well, indoor-drying and lactic acid fermentation was evaluated positiv. Indoor-drying is already partially applied, but also sun-drying. If they shift the GLV from the sun in the shadow, the families have a better supply of vitamin C. It would only require knowledge about the nutritional loss of sun-drying. The main problem in this research was a lack of exact data about the nutirtional value of the preserved GLV, differentiated according to the different methods. Furthermore, another problem is to combine gender studies with agricultural science. It is important to make more analysis to get valid data such as sex-aggregated data of land ownership to compare results. Another difficulty is the different way of life between the tribes living in Tanzania. The results established for the Gogo tribe can not be transferred to other tribes in Tanzania. Sexual division of labour and nutrition education should be focused most for applying up scaling strategies and construct gender equality in processing of GLV.
