Abstract

This report aims to analyse the specific impact of climate change on women in Burkina Faso's agricultural sector, and analyses how gender and women are taken into account in national adaptation and rural development policies and programmes. It examines adaptation practices aimed at women and the outcomes of such practices in terms of both gender and adaptation.
