Extract from Introduction:This report, “Levelling the Field: Improving Opportunities for Women Farmers in Africa”, marshals fresh, new evidence measuring the gender gap in African agriculture and provides detailed analysis of the factors that account for this gap in six African countries. To this end, the report makes three specific contributions. First, in Part 1: Country Profiles, this report provides a more robust assessment of the gender gaps in agricultural productivity across six African countries, using data collected by national statistics offices with assistance from the Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) programme.[...] Second, within the country profiles and the summary of key drivers, the report identifies the precise factors responsible for the gender gap in each of these six countries through the use of decomposition analysis, a statistical method that is normally used in labour economics. By applying this method to the agriculture sector, it yields new insights on the effects of various factors on women’s productivity. [...] Finally, Part 2: Policy Priorities sets out several concrete policy proposals to address the main constraints that women farmers face, as identified across the country profiles. Note: This resource was added to this database as part of a migration of resources from the now defunct CCRP Sphaera platform, and is still awaiting a comprehensive review and quality check.
