The effects of multiple agricultural advisory service providers on farmers’ productivity in Tanzania
Despite existence of multiple agricultural advisory service providers, there is limited evidence on their contribution to farmers' productivity. This study applied the multinomial endogenous switching regression model to analyze incremental effects of multiple advisory service providers on the partial and total factor productivities of 665 farmers in Tanzania. The study contributes to the literature by using number of service providers rather tha…
Gender gaps in potato productivity and the role of information and communication platforms in Kenya
The gender productivity gap in the agricultural sector is a major contributor to low productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Literature suggests that women’s lower productivity is deeply rooted in structural disadvantages, whose policy solutions include the potential use of information and communication technology (ICT) to incrementally narrow gender productivity gaps. This study assessed the contribution of ICT platforms to the gender gap in potato …
Gender gaps in sorghum productivity
Gender gaps in crop productivity can negatively affect rural socio-economic development of agrarian economies with serious implications for food and nutrition security. We assess productivity in male- and female-managed sorghum plots in Lira, Kumi, and Serere districts in Uganda. We find male-managed plots have higher productivity of 850.6 kgs/ha compared to female-managed plots (832.6 kgs/ha). An observed mean gender gap of 18% due to structural…
Effects of gender and institutional support services on commercialisation of maize in Western Kenya
This paper analyses the effects of gender and institutional support services on commercialisation patterns of maize by female-headed households (FHHs) and male-headed households (MHHs) in Western Kenya. Using primary household survey data from 297 maize farmers, we estimate a Tobit model and a treatment effect model to assess the determinants and gender-induced differences in commercialisation patterns, respectively. Results show that commerciali…
An analysis of the respective contributions of husband and wife in farming households in Kenya to decisions regarding the use of income
Socio-cultural and governance foundations of successful income-generating groups in pastoral societies
Many community groups in rural Africa malfunction or collapse after external support has ended. The use of non-consultative and non-contextual approaches in the establishment and evaluation of community groups has been associated with limited understanding of group functionality. This paper uses the perspectives of group members to identify social and governance factors contributing to the performance of pastoral income-generating groups. Self-as…
Re-examining Burial Disputes in Kenyan Courts through the Lenses of Legal Pluralism
This paper starts by exploring the place of customary law in socio-legal studies. It examines the different criticisms levelled against customary law and argues that although customary law is considered not to have the features of formal legal systems, the said comparison is unjustified as customary law and formal state law originate from different foundations. The second part of this paper highlights the contemporary theoretical discourse on leg…
