Integrating gender into a small-scale cotton development program
- 13. Sex distribution of farmers: Zambia and Uganda * estimates based on names of contractees - 57% unambiguous – 43% missing values ** data provided only for farmers with 2009 contracts => proxy for sex ratio of farmers

- Husbands and wives work jointly on all tasks, incl. planting, spacing, weeding, cultivating and harvesting and planning production, especially labor allocation
- DZL – ZAMBIA DUL – UGANDA – Although DUL POs were formed when DUL registered farmers into its outgrower network, there is not a strict one-to-one correspondence between registered farmers and memberships of DUL POs – It could be that husband and wife both are members of PO and only one is a registered farmer Less than 20% of farmers registered with DUL in 2007 signed contracts in 2009
- I used the word attendance (in the title) and not participation on purpose NO DATA ARE AVAILABLE FOR ZAMBIA AND UGANDA
- DATA ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ZAMBIA AND UGANDA - The issue of credit for farming was not brought up by either men or women during the research. Free donations of seed and farm equipment are an aspect of the post-conflict recovery programs being implemented by DUL as well as NGOs, and this may be blunting the need for credit. In ZAMBIA: Married women have minimal access to factors of production [e1] independently from their husbands, so the underlying issues limiting cotton production across all households, irrespective of gender, function in this context. These include relative prices of cotton and maize, limits on the amount of land small holder households can open and cultivate without traction, and general scarcity and cost of inputs, equipment, labor and credit. Female headed [e2] households are affected by the same constraints, but amplified by insecure land rights and second class status in terms of access to the inputs, labor, equipment and credit that is available [e1] this sentence is confusing. Is it that married women know little about the factors of production... or they have minimal access to production inputs [e2] not going to hyphenate any more -- you decide if it should be hyphenated and then make consistent Cotton is the only major crop in Zambia where farmers are given inputs on credit as part of an outgrower scheme. Inputs for crops grown in rotation with cotton, especially maize, have to be purchased
