| dc.description.abstract | Agricultural extension programmes often evaluate their gender strategy by the proportion
of female participants. However, female participation is not necessarily conducive
for reaching programme objectives.Weanalyse whether participation of female farmers
in an agricultural extension programme in South-Kivu increases adoption of three technologies:
improved legume varieties, row planting and mineral fertiliser. Joint male and
female programme participation leads to the highest adoption rates. Female participation
is not conducive for the adoption of capital-intensive technologies while it is for
(female) labour-intensive technologies. Participation of female-headed households is
more effective for technology adoption than participation of female farmers in maleheaded
households. |
