Resumen
Descripción
Increasing agricultural productivity
and investment is critical to reducing poverty, particularly
in Sub-Saharan Africa, where agriculture remains the
dominant income-generating activity. One potential way to
promote investment and improve the efficiency of household
farm production is to empower women as co-managers and
facilitate the coordination of production decisions within
the family. The authors test this approach in Côte d’Ivoire
through a couples training delivered to rubber producers,
and find that including women in economic planning improved
the efficiency of household farm production and promoted
higher levels of investment.
