Abstract In Uganda, agricultural-related policies clearly commit to a Gender and Development (GAD) approach but in many cases, the praxis follows a Women in Development (WID) approach. The same approach cascades into the operations of nonstate actors like Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). Using extensive document review and a gender analysis of key policy documents in Information Communication Technology (ICT) enabled agricultural practice, the article focuses on ways CSOs take up government policies on ICT and agricultural information to improve farmers’ access to agricultural information. Findings show that the government still opts for the male-dominated traditional agricultural extension system. CSOs, in contrast, have adopted a more democratized approach that allows more women to directly access extension services using mobile phones and radios. Whereas the initial aim is a focus on women, men have been allowed to participate in CSO-enabled agricultural information access, challenging the negative gender relations surrounding agriculture, and ICTs that include threats of domestic violence and the refusal of women to use technologies. Breaking these barriers has resulted into better access to agricultural information, more benefits through increased production, access to markets, and income, and more land for women and men alike.

乌干达农业推广政策的性别分析:告知实践?

摘要 在乌干达,农业相关政策明确致力于性别与发展 (GAD) 方法,但在许多情况下,实践遵循妇女参与发展 (WID) 方法。同样的方法也适用于民间社会组织 (CSO) 等非国家行为者的运作。通过对信息通信技术 (ICT) 支持的农业实践中的关键政策文件进行广泛的文件审查和性别分析,本文重点关注民间社会组织如何采纳政府关于 ICT 和农业信息的政策,以改善农民对农业信息的获取。调查结果表明,政府仍然选择男性主导的传统农业推广系统。相比之下,公民社会组织 采取了一种更加民主的方法,允许更多的妇女使用移动电话和收音机直接获得推广服务。虽然最初的目标是关注女性,但男性已被允许参与 CSO 支持的农业信息访问,挑战围绕农业的负面性别关系,以及包括家庭暴力威胁和拒绝女性使用技术在内的 ICT。打破这些障碍可以更好地获取农业信息,通过增加产量、市场准入和收入获得更多收益,以及为女性和男性提供更多土地。和信息通信技术,包括家庭暴力威胁和女性拒绝使用技术。打破这些障碍可以更好地获取农业信息,通过增加产量、市场准入和收入获得更多收益,以及为女性和男性提供更多土地。和信息通信技术,包括家庭暴力威胁和女性拒绝使用技术。打破这些障碍可以更好地获取农业信息,通过增加产量、市场准入和收入获得更多收益,以及为女性和男性提供更多土地。
