What are the gendered impacts of climate change at household level in Sub Saharan Africa? How can the capacity of women and men be strengthened to better adapt to climate change and climate variability? This executive summary provides an analysis of the findings of eight case studies carried out in Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa. It finds that women cope better with the impacts of changing circumstances than men, as women are more likely to explore opportunities that enable them to cope better.
Drawing on the work of the DFID-funded Kavango Farming Systems Research and Extension (KFSRE) team, this paper examines Kavango livelihoods using the Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (SRL) framework, and attempts to draw out key gender issues at each stage of analysis.
