Gender Responsive Policies
Gender roles and child nutrition in livestock production systems in developing countries: a critical review
The study of gender issues in agricultural production has become an important subject of inquiry, even since questions were raised on whether women and men benefited equally from economic development.

Gender and Institutional Aspects of Climate-Smart Agricultural Practices: Evidence from Kenya
This paper analyses gender differences in awareness and adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices. It examines what factors are associated with the likelihood of adoption of a wide range of CSA practices for 376 women and 375 men in two different areas of Kenya. This information is aimed at improving the targeting and design of interventions that are trying to achieve greater and more equitable agricultural development in East Africa and elsewhere.
