| dc.description | This paper is based on data collected in 1975 from a geographically
stratified sample of 212 small-scale farm households in one administrative
location of Kakamega District, western Kenya. It is found that women farm
managers experience a persistent and pervasive bias in the delivery of the
government agricultural services to which they are entitled. The bias increases
in intensity as the value of the service increases. Moreover, the bias holds
under a number of different controls including economic standing, size of land
holding and demonstrated interest in adopting agricultural innovations in a
timely way. Despite these inequities in access to services, women farm manager
in the area appear to be as productive and as willing to adopt innovations as
other types of farmers.
A number of suggestions are made to deal with the problem of inequity
in the delivery of agricultural services. | |
