Intra and interhousehold resource allocation and utilization: Insight from SI-FMS baseline surveys in Malawi and Ghana

Focusing on gender, this study describes mixed farming systems using data collected for monitoring, evaluation, learning, and impact assessment (MELIA) from 1268 household heads, 838 spouses, and 2731 plots in Malawi; and 1317 household heads, 1302 spouses, and 4017 plots in Ghana. The study also in...

description Focusing on gender, this study describes mixed farming systems using data collected for monitoring, evaluation, learning, and impact assessment (MELIA) from 1268 household heads, 838 spouses, and 2731 plots in Malawi; and 1317 household heads, 1302 spouses, and 4017 plots in Ghana. The study also includes the perception of selected gender norms among household heads and spouses in Ghana. We categorize the households into four gendered types – male-headed households with a spouse (MHHS), female-headed households with a spouse (FHHS), female-headed households without a spouse (FHHNS), and male-headed households without a spouse (MHHNS) for the analysis. Many studies on gender focus on the household heads. Our study uses information from husbands and wives, and female and male household heads with no spouses to see the intra- and inter-household differences in decision-making on resource use and utilization, focusing more on the use of decision-making sustainable intensification technologies in different cultures, religions, and geographical backgrounds. The descriptive analysis included in this report has demographic characteristics, primary and secondary occupations, number of hours slept at night during rainy and dry seasons, time devoted to different activities, participation in community organizations and roles, benefits of joining community organizations, household labor use, agricultural land ownership and plot management, agricultural input use, adoption of sustainable intensification technologies, measures to control soil erosion, crop and livestock production and sale, non-farm income and gender norms for Ghana.
