| description | Nigeria’s National Agricultural Seed Policy (NASP) 2023 has as an objective the need to address women and marginalized groups’ vulnerabilities within the decentralized community seed production system. The Cassava Seed Entrepreneurs (CSEs) Initiative represents the outcome of this policy implemented by the National Agricultural Seed Council (NASC) in partnership with key stakeholders such as research institutes, farmer groups, and nongovernmental organizations. The Gender in Agricultural Policies Analysis Tool (GAPo) (Kaaria et al., 2016) was used to analyze the extent to which gender and social inclusion were integrated in NASP, strategic policy documents, and CSE policy guidelines. This brief presents the results and recommendations to inform and align NASP with gender equality and social inclusion goals,
which include supporting gender research and using sex-disaggregated data in developing the pertinent strategy, and articulating gender and social inclusion considerations and actions. |
