Women and other minority groups play vital roles in African agriculture. Yet a complex set of cultural, social, and political factors constrain their access to Climate-Smart Agricultural (CSA) technologies, which could be transformative for their ability to adapt to climate change.
There is an urgent need to focus on the productivity and resilience of women and other underserved people in agriculture value chains, especially when faced with the impact of climate change in line with United Nations targets of zero hunger (SDG 2), gender equality (SDG 5) and climate action (SDG 13).
Under the AICCRA project, the World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) is also helping to make access to these CSA technologies more inclusive. This seminar takes us through how the ESF is helping to drive inclusive access to CSA technologies in Kenya and further shaping women’s agency in agricultural knowledge transfers.
