  • Baseline Study on Economic Empowerment of Women in Agriculture

    Baseline Study on Economic Empowerment of Women in Agriculture

    Purpose of the study

    In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of our work under goal three of CABI’s Medium-Term Strategy 2023-25, it is necessary to conduct a baseline study for women’s economic empowerment in agriculture. This will provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by women. It serves as a foundation for evidence-based policy-making, targeted interventions, and collaborative efforts aimed at fostering inclusive and sustainable agriculture development. It allows us to gather vital information, establish a benchmark for progress, and design effective interventions that promote gender equality and enhance women’s economic empowerment. By investing in this study, we can take significant strides towards achieving gender equality, empowering women, and realizing the full potential of agricultural sectors. This baseline study will serve as a benchmark for PlantwisePlus implementing countries to increase its impact on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

    Scope of the study

    The baseline study will be carried out at the country level in two PlantwisePlus countries: Ghana and Kenya. The study aims to collect information on the following:

    Women’s economic empowerment levels: based on knowledge and awareness of the key gender issues and gendered power dynamics in the target countries, establish baseline data on current levels of women’s economic empowerment in agriculture at a local level, that can also be used at a more general (national) level. Specifically, the baseline will provide data on:

    women’s access to and control over farming inputs (land, labor, finance, advice, technologies, etc.)
    existing knowledge of women farmers and their capacity to access digital information
    women’s capacities and access to information on pest management, plant health
    existing gender disparities
    barriers women farmers encounter
    specific areas where intervention and support are most needed and propose targeted strategies to address their needs.

    Income generation: the baseline will collect data on existing women’s empowerment levels, agricultural productivity, farming income, and market access. The study will also suggest new income and employment opportunities for women and youth as agricultural services providers.
    Understand local challenges and context: the study will develop comprehensive case studies of localities where interventions have been fruitful, explaining key success factors that can potentially be replicated. Active engagement with the local stakeholders, such as women farmers community leaders, NGOs, and government officials, will be expected to gain first-hand insights and identify scalable solutions. This approach should deliver a robust understanding of local contexts while delivering broad insights useful for future interventions.

    Methodology

    The baseline study should employ a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods. The selected consultant, consultancy team, or firm will be expected to adopt a multi-faceted approach in conducting the work including performing cross-content comparisons and thematic analysis across various local contexts to discern shared challenges and successful strategies.

    The study should collect data through methods such as household surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. The consultant will apply Pro-WEAI and other suitable tools for the data collection on access to equitable extension advisory services and the use of agricultural technologies. Specific gender assessment tools should be suggested in the proposal documents. A tailored assessment framework should be developed that can be used across all countries.

    Deliverables

    The consultant will be responsible for delivering the following outputs:

    Inception report detailing the study design, methodology, and data collection tools
    Raw data collected from the fieldwork
    Draft baseline study report for review and feedback
    Final baseline study report incorporating feedback received
    Presenting the findings of the study
