Determinants of Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture in Botswana: The Abbreviated Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (A-WEAI) Approach Motaung, Masa V.; Bosompem, Martin Women’s empowerment is recognised as a crucial strategy for the development of societies globally, particularly in agricultural sectors where empowering women can significantly contribute to poverty reduction. This study aimed to diagnose the status of the women empowerment and evaluate the influence of the small-stock package of the Livestock Management and Infrastructure Development (LIMID) programme on women’s empowerment in the Central District of Botswana. A concurrent mixed-methods design was employed, collecting data from 370 women. The study utilised the Abbreviated Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (A-WEAI) to measure empowerment as dependent variable. The regression analysis revealed farming settlement, household type, animal feeding regimes and the observability of the programme’s benefits were predictors of women empowerment in agriculture. The study recommends the adoption of a pluralistic extension system and the integration of gender-transformative approaches by the Ministry of Agriculture to enhance the impact of such programmes and enhance the level of women empowerment in agriculture.

Transformative Curricula and Teaching Practices to Meet Labour Market Needs in Tertiary Agricultural Education in Africa. Hulela, Keba; Mukuni, Joseph; Abreh, Might Kojo; Kasozi, Joseph Amooti; Kraybill, David This chapter describes and analyzes labour market conditions and policy, as well as programme options for improving the economic and social relevance of agricultural training in African higher education institutions. The intended audience is teachers and administrators of tertiary agricultural education (TAE) who have little or no training in curriculum development or pedagogy. The aim is to present practical steps for reforming curricula and pedagogical approaches to enable TAE institutions to meet the needs of communities more effectively and to address the demands of dynamic labour, information and technology markets. The discussion also describes how tertiary education teachers and administrators can develop the vision, methods and institutional culture required to prepare students for employability and life-long learning.
