Women and development

By Adamou Bara Dan Salaou and Maman Waziri Mato

Many researchers recognize the importance of the gender approach to development issues in agriculture, particularly market gardening, in the world in general and in Niger in particular. Women market gardeners contribute to the socio-economic development of the population, generating substantial income. They are also the source of food for their families in Djirataoua. Yet women are still cited for their poor access to land and financial resources. In addition, demographic pressure and climate change aggravate the situation. This study of women's market gardening practices in the Djirataoua irrigated perimeter(Niger)examines the conditions under which they practice this activity, their contribution to improving the population's living conditions, and their degree of involvement in local initiatives.
