Abstract
This study explores the intrahousehold impact of transfer of modern agricultural
technology from a gender perspective. The data suggest that group-based programs
targeting women have a greater potential to address gender relations within the household
and society than do programs targeting women as individuals. In male-dominated
societies where women have limited access to internal or external support networks,
programs targeting women as individuals that do not also provide alternative sources of
support are bound to fail in their gender goals.
