"Govts in #Africa need to guide on policies, while the private institutions & development firms need to put these policies into practices; e.g there's a need to have minimum wage for women worker/farmers. This is an approach to challenge the social norms,"

"Gender is not just women. It's also about men. Equal opportunities benefit the household. Technologies that work for men, women and youth. We should not compromise by having another person struggle with the technology."

"How do we make sure that we do not cause harm with our interventions? A gender analysis and human rights analysis is done when the project is designed. "

#AASW8

" What is also important is understand where the gaps are for each entrepreneur. It is important to know what is needed at that time and also a lot of handholding."

" How do we ensure women take care of household activities and also farm? We have developed a multi-crop thresher that is portable unlike previous ones which were heavy."

" The extension services are important as this is where you can help women to know about the technologies. Gender sensitive communication tools should also be used. Translate to local languages if you can. "

" We have a lot of proven technologies that are gender responsive but the challenge is to put them at scale to reach the small scale farmers. Access to the technology should be equitable."
