Research suggests that gender equity is a critical factor in the adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices. If gender is not explicitly considered in climate-related interventions, the adoption of climate-resilient practices is unlikely to reach scale. Climate-resilient interventio...

Expectations that gender‐mainstreaming efforts would effectively advance gender equality have been disappointed in contemporary sub‐Saharan Africa. Examining this apparent disconnect, we focus on the narratives through which policy‐makers relate to, and dis/engage with, gender issues. Using in‐de...

Clearly showing the benefits of certain climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions over others in a particular context is key to facilitating prudent investment of scarce resources. Ranking certain CSA practices over others is complex because CSA implies multiple outcomes, which vary with co...
