“…In Asia, increased commercialisation by large plantations has led to a large class of landless women working as agricultural wage labourers (Agarwal, 1989). Where women do retain access to land, their choices of which crops to grow are often constrained since men make many of the decisions regarding agriculture (Kiriti, Tisdell and Roy, 2002).…”

“…Furthermore, in most cases, wives work as unpaid family labourers in their husband's cash crop fields. Men are not necessarily under any obligation to share the proceeds from their fields with their wives (Kiriti, Tisdell and Roy, 2002;Kennedy and Cogill, 1985). Charlton, Everett and Staudt (1989) claim that Third World countries have been increasingly drawn into the international trade in foodstuffs, because many governments actively encourage the production of crops that can be sold for badly needed foreign currencies.…”

“…In the Kenyan case, women appear to have very little influence on decisions about cash crops but they seem to have a leeway in matters concerning subsistence food crops (Kiriti, Tisdell and Roy, 2002). They appear to lose their power to make agricultural household decisions with increased commercialisation.…”

“…Moreover, the finding also provides insight into the negotiations that go on in households' regarding television watching in light of the patriarchal societal set-up of many African societies. Customarily in African societies, the man is the head of the household and amasses decision-making powers (Kiriti & Tisdell, 2003;Kiriti, Tisdell, & Roy, 2003).…”

Although numerous scholars across the world have sought to explore the relevance of television for development purposes in various national settings, there is a dearth of literature on the use of television for development in the Botswana context. A national television service, Botswana Television (Btv) was introduced in 2000 by the Botswana Government.However, Btv's role in national development has received limited research attention. This study examines the role of television in national development in Botswana. In addition, the study explores the factors that influence the performance of television in a developing country context, with a view to suggest issues for consideration in media policy in Botswana to improve the performance of the Btv. This analysis of Btv was conducted through a qualitative research methodology that comprised document analysis, schedule analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. This combination of methods provides data that contributes to a more holistic knowledge of media and development in Botswana. Various documents about Btv and media in Botswana were reviewed to establish the media policy issues relating to television broadcasting in Botswana. The schedule analysis, which was a unique method applied in this study, involved reviewing samples of Btv schedules from 2010 and 2011 to examine Btv's program output, specifically, the content related to Botswana's national development priorities. In-depth interviews with 37 participants provided significant insights into the origins, role, and structure of Btv, as well as the socio-economic and political factors that influence the service. Focus group discussions were employed to explore audience perceptions of Btv programs.The study illustrates that the role of television in national development in Botswana is mostly consistent with the role of the media advocated by the modernisation theory of
