CARE Zimbabwe's work through the Takunda project working with men and boys to re-envision norms has made great strides in exploring and expanding ideas around what it means “to be a man;” definitions of masculinity within households and communities; and how this impacts food and nutrition. Takunda views its work as a “journey” of engaging men and boys in food security and nutrition programming. It is a work in progress, building on lessons learned, experimenting, and learning from others. Takunda believes that engaging men does not take away from a focus on women or women’s empowerment. It is not a zero sum game; men and boys are part of the solution, especially when we work with them as equal partners with women and girls to change social structures and power imbalances. By understanding the complexities of men’s’ and boys’ experiences — how they are shaped and the pressures they face — we can build sustainable approaches that benefit everyone.
