| description | This study explores the intra-household impact of transfer of improved dualpurpose
cowpea from a gender perspective. Increased productivity by IDPC, has
increased food, fodder and income availability. The impact of which is linked to the
income it has placed in the women’s hands. Surplus income has been found to be
extremely important in providing food and nutritional benefits to the home, particularly
during periods of risk. Most importantly, income generated through the adoption of IDPC
has entered a largely female domain, where transfers of gifts and income reserves were
passed on from generation to generation. Having meaningful impact towards the social
and economic development for the women. However, the technology has strengthened
the separation of working spheres between men and women, with the associated
seclusion of wives. Future IITA technologies, should attempt from the onset, to use
alternatives, existing within the local rubric, to target women, with the aim of expanding
their participation and contribution to agriculture with the associated benefits to their
families. |
