The use of Productive Use of Renewable Energy on technologies by women smallholder farmers across agricultural value chains (under application)

In Africa, smallholder women farmers are crucial for agricultural production and food security. Their lack of access to modern energy services and other barriers limit their ability to be productive and improve their economic status.

To provide policy makers with a better understanding of how women smallholder farmers in Africa adopt and utilise PURE technologies, the proposed study will examine how women in rural Kenya adopt PURE technologies and how these adopted technologies affect income generation and productivity in a range of agricultural value chains in East African countries (Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania).
