Enhancing women's empowerment and climate-adaptive capacities in aquaculture in climate hotspots in Zambia by Mudege, N.N., Lecoutere, E., Arhin-Sam, K., Kihoro, E., Kakwasha, K., Manyise, T.

“…The study uses a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design and draws on primary data collected in October 2022 in Northern and Luapula provinces, climate change hotspots where gender equality and climate-adaptive capacities are acutely challenged. It examines the extent to which gender-intentional and gender-responsive aquaculture interventions by WorldFish in Zambia that address some of these constraints—such as women’s limited agency and limited access to technology, information and knowledge—are associated with women’s empowerment, better food and nutrition outcomes and enhanced climate-adaptive capacities. …”
