Assessing the effects of women empowerment

More about the book

The book explores the phenomenon of agricultural feminization in Sub-Saharan Africa, where women constitute a significant portion of the agricultural workforce despite facing challenges such as lack of land ownership, credit, and essential resources. This gender productivity gap contributes to the feminization of poverty. The authors argue for the empowerment of women through improved access to irrigation, land, and agricultural inputs like fertilizers and seeds. The focus is on farm households that possess these critical agricultural assets, highlighting their potential for enhancing women's productivity and economic status.
