Abstract
The status of women in agrifood systems in sub-Saharan Africa provides the latest data, policy highlights and recommendations for policy- and decision-makers about gender in agrifood systems in sub-Saharan Africa. The report reviews and analyses women’s opportunities and constraints in economic and social processes in sub-Saharan Africa, while taking stock and assessing progress made in closing a series of gender gaps. It provides new directions, examples of policies and good practices that promote gender, climate and environmentally just agrifood systems in sub-Saharan Africa.
