Fostering the uptake of labour-saving technologies and practices
This policy brief illustrates the key conditions that need to be in place for women’s adoption of labour-saving technologies and practices. It relies on FAO’s experience and is targeted at policy makers and service providers who support a wide range of production systems (from subsistence to market- oriented). The brief illustrates that a set of integrated strategies and actions need to be developed and implemented to reach communities and support women’s social and economic empowerment for technology adoption. This means targeting both men and women, at household level and within the context of local institutions, and addressing a set of inter-related cultural, economic and environmental constraints.
