| description | The research objectives included assessing the effects of two aquaculture interventions on gender-equal access and control over resources, technology and information among smallholder farmers, evaluating the impact on climate resilience among smallholder fish farmers, and examining overall gender equality and women’s empowerment in aquaculture. The research employed a mixed-method design, combining quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews and discussions. Data was collected from 322 households (644 respondents) in treatment districts and 178 households (356 respondents) in control districts. Data analysis involved descriptive analysis, impact analysis using average treatment effect propensity score matching, and a women’s empowerment analysis using pro-WEAI. Women in treatment districts had a higher aggregate pro-WEAI score (0.88) than those in control districts (0.83), indicating greater empowerment among women in the treatment areas. The proportion of empowered women was higher (65%) in treatment districts compared to control districts (58%). The average empowerment gap between women and men within households suggested reduced disparity between women and men farmers in treatment districts. The main indicators contributing to disempowerment among women in the treatment district were access to credit and decision-making, work–life balance, and visiting important locations. The interventions enhanced women’s involvement in aquaculture; improved gender equality in access and control over resources, technology and information; promoted gender equality in climate-resilient practices; and enhanced women’s empowerment. However, there was limited evidence to support improved gender equality regarding benefits from the food system. |
