Abstract: Agriculture is a main contributor to pro-poor growth in Africa, but gender inequalities in the sector hold back agricultural growth and affect household welfare negatively. The sector has been characterized by a lack of gender-disaggregated data and patchy gender-integration in policies and operational responses. To remedy this, the World Bank (WB) and the Government of Kenya (GoK) integrated gender in a pronounced way in the design and implementation of the Kenya Agricultural Productivity and Agribusiness Project (KAPAP).
