Gender implications for post-production technology development in West Africa. (Case studies in Nigeria).

ABSTRACT

Gender role and status in crop and food production in Africa is clearly differentiated even within a family unit. The holistic approach to technology development led to the proper targeting of the technology-user. Different types of post-production technology packages were developed and introduced to villages in West Africa. Interventions are discussed for maize and cassava farming. Impact assessment in terms of farmers' reaction to the given intervention, and the effect on the quality of life of the users are discussed.
