Gender norms agency and innovation in wheat-based systems and livelihoods : synthesis report of four community case studies in Afghanistan - Islamabad, Pakistan : CIMMYT, 2018. - 37 pages

Open Access

This report illuminates how gender norms and agency advance or impede capacity to innovate and adopt technology in agriculture in four wheat-growing villages from two provinces (Kabul and Nangarhar).1 The report covers perspectives and experiences of 132 males and 128 females from wheat-growing households.2 The norms surrounding agriculture provide women and men with different roles and opportunities in farming and often result in unequal access to and control over resources. This study is designed to show evidence-based relationships among gender norms, capacities for agricultural innovation and other key constraining and local opportunity structures that affect the achievement of the CGIAR's3 development objective to achieve equitable improvements in agricultural outcomes.
