The note presents an overview on gender
strategies for Sub-Saharan Africa, and, illustrates the
direct relevance of specific, regional gender
characteristics, to its socioeconomic development. Strategic
objectives point at increasing women's effective access
to financial services, particularly in agriculture,
redirecting agricultural research, and extension to meet the
needs of women farmers; raise women's participation in
education, and their access to health, nutrition, and family
planning services; expand access to rural water supply, and
fuel-wood, transport, and labor-saving technology for
agro-processing, and domestic tasks; and, support systematic
participation of women at macro, sectoral, and micro levels,
to identify gender-differentiated impacts of policies, and
programs, and, to define ways to overcome gender barriers in
the access to economic resources, and human development. |
