| Resumen: |
Women and girls (WGs) have important roles in making agrifood systems more climate resilient. However, systemic inequalities in access to resources, technologies, information, services, and networks, alongside limited agency and restrictive gender norms, reduce their capacity to adapt to and mitigate climate change. We develop a conceptual framework on how social assistance – the most prevalent type of social protection programming in many LMICs – affects WGs coping, adaptive, and mitigative responses to climate hazards. We reflect on the emerging evidence and propose recommendations on program design features that may more effectively promote WGs climate resilience in agrifood systems. We additionally highlight important directions for future research to guide practice |
