Sumario:The brief summarizes the results of a literature review on equity, empowerment and gender relations for climate-smart agriculture programming. The review found out that a wider and more equitable gender sensitivity is now seen amongst policy makers and local government, with a corresponding enhanced and out-scaled uptake on CSA.

Applying social learning improved the adaptive capacities of women.
