Abstract

This paper argues that for any community transformation to be achieved, cultural values and legal frameworks, which influence issues relating to land rights and food security, must form an integral part of any policy intervention efforts. We adopted feminism as both a methodological and an analytical framework. The dominant research paradigm was qualitative. The study sample was 184 people obtained using a systematic sampling method. Data collection was through focus groups and interviews. We challenge contemporary development initiatives, in terms of their intentions and sustainability. Finally, it is important that any development initiatives facilitate the participation and involvement of all genders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this paper we review research studies on gender-based productivity gaps in agriculture with an objective of assessing the nature of evidence since the wide-ranging productivity gaps reported in the SOFA2010–2011of FAO. Broadly, we address two questions. One, what are the trends in and extent of current gender gaps in productivity? Two, what has worked and what has not worked in bridging the gaps? We also critically examine the conceptualization of gender productivity gaps, including the measures of productivity, units of analysis andmethods of estimating gaps. We find that recent studies offer more nuanced evidence ongender productivity gaps, which estimate gaps at the plot level and show heterogeneity in gaps across crops, productivity distribution, and regionally within countries. They showsignificant gender gaps, which vary between four and 28 percent, persisting across countries though temporal trends are difficult to infer due to methodological differences. There isless but mixed evidence on the impact of interventions in bridging gender productivity gaps, even when they improve productivity in general.
