“…Also, when considering CSA in Nigeria, there are gender differences in uptake (Onyeneke et al, 2018). Men were more likely to adopt crop rotation, whilst women were more likely to adopt green manure and agroforestry (Oyawole et al, 2020). In Kenya, gender also affected the adoption of CSA, and the intensity of it, in dairy farming (Maindi et al, 2020).…”

“…Some papers also highlight the continued existence of persistent gaps between men and women in status. In Nigeria, men are reported as having had more empowerment than women in four of five components in the Abbreviated Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (Oyawole et al, 2020). In Ethiopia, women are reported as having been disempowered across all five components of empowerment due to cultural patriarchal norms and despite government and financial institution policy changes (Petros et al, 2018).…”

This scoping paper presents the results of a review of the landscape of research on gender and agricultural and pastoral livelihoods in select countries in west and east Africa (Burkina Faso, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, and Uganda) published over 5 years (January 2016–March 2021). A keyword search of the Scopus database gave rise to an ultimate dataset of 169 papers which were coded for geographical location, approaches to gender, and theme based on inductive identification of clusters of research. There has been an increase in the number of published papers but there is an uneven geographical distribution of research. Studies vary in the way they treat gender: with an almost even split between modeling-based studies, where gender is one of many variables to be correlated with, or to determine, an outcome (e.g., poverty—for example, as a dummy variable in regressions); and studies where the expressed aim is to look at gender differences, whether through the gender of an individual or the gender of a household head. Clusters of papers look at gender differences in assets, health, perceptions of environmental degradation, agricultural perceptions and outcomes, and climate change perceptions, vulnerability, and adaptation. There is also a number of papers exploring women's empowerment, including intra-household decision making. Intersectional approaches have been employed both through modeling studies and through more in-depth qualitative studies that are able to trace changes in identity over time, and the implications therein. The household and household headship have remained common entry points and units of analysis, despite known critiques. The results highlight a need to address geographical gaps in gender research, expand the evidence base of intersectional approaches, explore other aspects of social inequality, and expand more innovative methodological studies.

“…Sementara itu dalam aspek pemberdayaan perempuan, penelitian sebelumnya cenderung melihat pada aspek self-esteem dan self-eficacy (Al-Qahtani et al 2021), pengaruh keberadaan NGO's (Gupta 2020), dampak dari keramahan jaringan (Lim and Bouchon 2021), pemberdayaan perempuan dalam aspek agrikultur (konsep pertanian smart) (Oyawole et al 2021), dan dimensi dan faktor penentu dalam pemberdayaan perempuan di negara berkembang (Soharwardi and Ahmad 2020).…”

Pengetahuan perempuan yang terbatas membuat mereka sering menjadi objek dalam ruang domestik maupun publik. Kondisi ini memaksa perempuan untuk tunduk terhadap kebijakan yang bias gender. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk melihat dan menganalisa bagaimana pendidikan alternatif dioperasikan di dalam aktivitas pemberdayaan perempuan Payungi dan seperti apa kontribusi komunitas. Pendidikan alternatif berdasarkan uraian dari Mills (Mills et al. 2016) dengan lingkungan belajar yang kondusif dengan fleksibel memungkinkan seseorang kembali pada rutinitas belajar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan data-data observasi, interview dan studi dokumentasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan komunitas epistemik Payungi berperan dalam tiga hal, pertama, menghadirkan pendidikan alternatif-transformatif dengan mengoptimalkan peran Pesantren Wirausaha. Kedua, merekonstruksi paradigma berpikir perempuan (ibu rumah tangga) melalui dialog intra-religious. Ketiga, membangun kolaborasi dengan beberapa tokoh agama dan akademisi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pendidikan alternatif melalui konsep pesantren wirausaha yang dijalankan secara transformatif dan mendasarkan pemahaman pada nilai-nilai agama dan ilmu pengetahuan selain mampu membangun pengetahuan, juga membangun kapabilitas dan akselerasi perempuan dalam merespon isu-isu global. Kata Kunci: pemberdayaan perempuan, komunitas epistemik, pendidikan alternatif, agama, sains Limited knowledge of women makes them often become objects in domestic and public area. This condition forces women to submit to policies biased gender. This article aims to look at and analyze how alternative education operates within Payungi’s women’s empowerment activities and what the community’s contribution. Alternative education based on the description from Mills (Mills et al. 2016) with a conducive and flexible learning environment allows one to return to study routine. This research is qualitative research using observational data, interviews and documentation studies. This research shows that the Payungi epistemic community existence plays role in three ways, first, presenting alternative-transformative education by optimizing the Pesantren Wirausaha role. Second, reconstructing womens’s thinking paradigm (housewives) through intra-religious dialogue. Third, building collaboration with several religious leaders and academics. This research concludes that alternative education through the Pesantren Wirausaha concept is run in transformative manner and based on religious values and science understanding, besides can build knowledge, also build capabilities, and accelerate women in responding to global issues. Keywords: women empowerment, epistemic community, alternative education, religion, science

“…The effectiveness of adaptation and mitigation solutions can be significantly improved as a result of gender inclusion and the more active involvement of women, who are perceived as powerful agents of change to address climate change at scale [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Furthermore, more gender-balanced representation in decision-making positively affects the integration of climate-smart agricultural technologies, the ratification of climate treaties, the building-up of community resilience and improvements in adaptive capacities e.g., [24,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. According to estimations, the 20-30% increase in productivity achieved by women farmers would reduce the number of undernourished people by 100-150 million worldwide [34].…”

Understanding Needs and Potentials for Gender-Balanced Empowerment and Leadership in Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Africa

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The past years were marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, economic downfall, the 5th anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement, and the end of the African Women’s Decade. According to the latest projections, African countries will continue to face increasing inequalities, as well as risks to human health, water and food security, due to climate change. African countries are also struggling to reduce gender-related power imbalances in adaptation and mitigation that magnify existing vulnerabilities, particularly those of women. Therefore, any advances made in this narrative are significant. This paper investigates the needs and potential for gender-balanced leadership/empowerment in adaptation and mitigation based on climate change experts’ views on the advances made in Africa. This is complemented by a bibliometric analysis of the literature published on the topic between the years 2015 and 2022. The study suggests that although women’s influence on climate change related decisions is growing, a series of barriers need to be overcome, among which are lack of knowledge and political will. The COVID-19 pandemic is seen as having both positive and negative potentials for gender-balanced leadership/empowerment. The findings provide a premise for identifying possible directions of further actions towards gender-balanced leadership/empowerment in climate change in African countries.
