Overview

Examines how gender affects the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices, suggesting that improving structural factors is crucial for women's empowerment.

Key Points

  • The research aims to investigate how gender influences the adoption of climate-smart agriculture in West Africa.
  • Utilized exogenous switching treatment effect regression model and Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition method.
  • Collected data from the 2018/2019 Harmonized Household Living Conditions Survey across five West African countries.
  • Analyzed structural factors affecting the adoption rates of climate-smart agriculture.
  • Female plot managers have a lower likelihood of adopting climate-smart agriculture than male counterparts, even with similar characteristics.
  • A significant gender gap in adoption rates was found in Burkina Faso and Senegal, while Ivory Coast and Togo exhibited different patterns.
  • Structural factors such as education, access to credit, and agricultural resources were identified as key contributors to these gender differences.
