Can I speak to the manager? The gender dynamics of decision-making in Kenyan maize plots
Gender and social inclusion efforts in agricultural development are focused on making uptake of agricultural technologies more equitable. Yet research looking at how gender relations influence technology uptake often assumes that men and women within a household make farm management decisions as individuals. Relatively little is understood about the dynamics of agricultural decision-making within dual-adult households where individuals' managemen…
Can climate information salvage livelihoods in arid and semiarid lands? An evaluation of access, use and impact in Namibia
Climate forecasting is a crucial tool for managing risks in climate-sensitive economic sectors like agriculture. Although rainfed subsistence farming dominates livelihoods in Africa, information on access, integration in farm decisions and impact of improved seasonal climate forecasting remains scanty. This paper addresses this gap using representative data of 653 households across three regions in North-Central Namibia. The study employed propen…
Participation in ICT-based market information projects, smallholder farmers' commercialisation, and agricultural income effects: Findings from Kenya

These projects aim to strengthen smallholder farmers’ linkage to input and output markets. This article examines the impact of such projects on smallholder farmers’ input and output commercialisation, and household income, using propensity score matching technique and…
