This case study from Bu ́zi district, Mozambique investigated whether gender equality, in terms \nof male and female participation in groups, leads to gender equity in sharing of benefits from \nthe social capital created through the group. Exploring the complex connection between \ngender, groups, and social capital, we found that gender equity is not necessarily achieved \nby guaranteeing men and women equal rights through established by-laws, or dealing with \ngroups as a collective entity. While there were no significant differences in the investment patterns \nof men and women in terms of participation in group activities and contribution of communal \nwork, access to leadership positions and benefits from social capital were unequally \ndistributed. Compared with men, women further found it difficult to transform social relations \ninto improved access to information, access to markets, or help in case of need
