Assessing Women’s Decision-Making for Teff Farming 


The aim of this study was to identify which gender factors influence decision-making on the adoption of best practices (BPs) in teff farming households in the West Gojjam region of Amhara regional state in Ethiopia. 

To this end, we carried out three rounds of a quantitative household survey with a final sample of 555 households, where one adult man and one adult woman were interviewed in each round. 

The surveys were complemented by 9 focus group discussions and 12 in-depth interviews with farmers, and 4 key informant interviews with development agents and teff crop experts.
