Understanding and integrating gender issues into livestock projects and programmes A checklist for practitioners
|
|
| In rural societies, where local culture and traditions are still very vibrant, responsibilities and
tasks are often assigned to women and men on the basis of traditional gender roles, defined
as those behaviours and responsibilities that a society considers appropriate for men, women,
boys and girls. These roles change over time, have different characteristics in every local context
and are shaped by ideological, religious, (...) |

| In recent years, Zambia has witnessed increased interest from private investors in acquiring land for

investments to build infrastructure, bring new technologies and know-how, create employment, and
improve market access, among other benefits. But agricultural investments create risks as well as
opportunities, for instance (...) |

The Gender and Equity Implications of Land-Related Investments on Land Access, Labour and Income-Generating Opportunities in Northern Ghana The Case Study of Integrated Tamale Fruit Company

| In recent years, Ghana has witnessed increased interest from private companies in developing agricultural
investments. This trend is common to many lower/middle income countries. It has translated in a surge in
large-scale land acquisitions in many lower/middle income countries, including Ghana, but also in

Training Guide: Gender and Climate Change Research in agriculture and food security for rural development
|
|
| Both women and men play a significant role in safeguarding food security, and their respective roles and responsibilities need to be well understood to ensure that men and women benefit equally from climate-smart agriculture practices.

|
| Despite Ghana's great progress in poverty reduction, an important share of rural men and women in the country still lack decent work opportunities. The Northern part of the country and rural areas in general are of major concern.

Gender inequalities in Rural Employment in Ghana - policy and legislation

|
| Poverty in Ghana continues to be extensive, particularly for farming households. Low agricultural productivity and the lack of decent work opportunities, along with a poorly educated workforce pose great challenges for poverty eradication.

Passport to mainstreaming gender in water programmes Key questions for interventions in the agricultural sector.
|

| As stated in The State of Food and Agriculture (SOFA)
2010-2011, the agriculture sector is under-performing in many developing countries, partly because women do not have equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive. Women have less access to agricultural assets, inputs
and services and to rural employment opportunities. They operate smaller farms, have fewer livestock and a greater overall (...) |

Communicating Gender For Rural Development - Integrating gender in communication for development

|
| In rural and agricultural development projects, ‘communication for development’ and ‘gender’ approaches
are key to ensuring that food security, poverty and gender objectives are met sustainably.
These two approaches are based on common values, namely the active and equal participation of all stakeholders,
both men and women, and the empowerment of populations, particularly the most disadvantaged.
They are in no way (...) |

Gender Inequalities in Rural Employment in Malawi - Policy Context
|

| The Constitution of Malawi was adopted in 1994 and consists of 23 Chapters and 215 sections. It seeks to enshrine the principle of equality not only in general terms but it is also quite specific in mandating gender equality (section 13), promoting women’s rights (section 24), and prohibiting any kind of discrimination based on gender (section 20), even though it does not legally define discrimination.1 The Constitution (...) |

Gender differentiated asset dynamics in Northern Nigeria

| This paper examines gender differentiated asset dynamics over a 20 year period (1988-2008) in Northern Nigeria. The paper first examines the state of the literature on poverty dynamics, especially with respect to gender differences and agriculture. We then present new evidence to investigate whether there has been a catch-up effect for women in agricultural households who had initially low assets in 1988 and whether asset (...) |

We describe how factors such as access to assets, gendered education differentials and the nature and value of economic activities affect the way in which men and women participate and gain in value chains, distinguishing among household, institutional and chain levels of analysis. We conclude that the universal (...) |

Mainstreaming gender sensitivity in cash crop market supply chains
|

| This paper considers the impact of gender specific constraints on the production and marketing of cash crops. Cash crop production differs from general agricultural production in that it entails engaging in output markets to make sales. This in turn requires reliable access to these markets, and has implications on the necessary scale and quality of production. Assessing the nature of female involvement in cash crop (...) |

Her book, along with the work of feminists writing at the same time, marked the start of a range of activities, such as projects focused on women, that aimed at removing the economic exclusion of women. These activities were named Women in Development. These activities came to be (...) |

Intra-household bargaining, gender roles in agriculture and how to promote welfare enhancing changes

Empowerment is treated as a process which does not stop with empowerment per se, but also looks at what is eventually done with the increased agency. The paper finds that women are generally more constrained than men with regard to access to productive resources such as land, credit or information. Women also face (...) |
