Gender in CSA: Gender roles and decision making
Adoption of climate-smart practices involves a series of decisions based on multiple goals
Men and women often attach different weight to different goals
Differentiated implications for men’s and women’s income, labour requirements and wellbeing
Some key questions What do men and women perceive is at risk due to changes
in climate?
Who decides and who implements?
What are implications for time use?

Gender in CSA: Access to resources
• Men’s and women’s access to and control over agricultural resources is often unequal
• Many of these resources are essential for CSA
• Taking women’s persistent lack of access to and control over resources into consideration is thus essential
• Some key questions:
– What information is needed to decide whether to take up CSA practice? Is this information available to all?
– Who owns and who controls agricultural inputs?
– What institutional support is currently available to men and women for implementing mitigation practices?
