Sharing of power and decision-making
Members and Officers of Agricultural/Rural Organizations. Women comprise at least 75% of the members of the powerful small-scale farmers' organization, the Zimbabwe Farmers Union (ZFU), but constitute only 4.5 % of the office bearers. In the Commercial Farmers Union (CFU) women comprise only 8.6% of the members, reflecting the low percentage of women owning large farms. The proportion of women office bearers is 10%.
Women in Decision-making Positions in Ministries and Government Bodies. In spite of the predominance of women in agriculture, very few women hold decision-making positions in government bodies dealing with agriculture.
