Dear Juliana Mandha,
I do not know anything about Uganda, but your post made me wonder the same question I make myself in my own country: is agriculture policy mainly a pro-poor policy? Or are the efforts (and resources) mainly directed to the big land owners and producers?
Best regards,
Rodolfo.

Dear Abigael,
Totally agree with you about secure tenure of land. Technology can only address problems in which it is an important answer, but cannot solve issues such as the point you mentioned that is structural in keeping the opressive status quo. Another example is access to new markets: local, regional and national companies can slash the new entrants as quick and easy as a blink of an eye.
Best regards,
Rodolfo.

Dear Yinka Adesola,
I am delighted by your thoughts. I think grassroot innovations for such tools to suit women needs very important. Share such innovations and traditional knowledge is alo important. There is a permanent and persistent initiative on grassroot innovation in India that is worthnoting if you haven't heard about: the Honeybee Network.
Women must be protagonists of technology generation; technology selection and technology adoption. Not only users, but in the process of innovation and decisioon-making of which technologies to choose and deploy.
Best regards,
Rodolfo.

It is paramount to monitor and evaluate what AFDB will do to address gender inequality in agricultural production (program, project, pilot etc.). This will answer the questions:
