Resumen
Descripción
This qualitative cross-sectional dataset was collected through eight sex-segregated focus group discussions (FGDs) and fifteen in-depth interviews (IDIs) with pig keepers in Hoima and Kamuli districts in Uganda. The FGDs were equally distributed between men and women pig keepers and across the two districts. Purposive sampling was used to identify FGD and IDI participants. The discussions covered gender roles and responsibilities in pig production, breeding, marketing, and control over income from pig sales; challenges associated with pig production and intensification; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the impact of pig intensification on gender relations and livelihoods. The interviews were conducted between November and December 2020. This qualitative cross-sectional dataset can be valuable to social researchers seeking to understand the challenges (including structural challenges such as gender norms and stereotypes) that limit the empowerment of women and men through pig farming.
