Abstract
Infrastructure projects in fragile and conflict affected settings are susceptible to numerous operational challenges, which might inadvertently escalate existing socio-economic and political tensions.

Harvesting trees to harvest cash crops: The role of migrants in forest land conversion in Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134681
Abstract
Agricultural expansion-led deforestation in Uganda is one of the highest of the world. At the same time, internal migration patterns are strongly inter-linked with agricultural dynamics in the country, as migrants are involved in crop production activities and traditionally play important roles in major crop value chains. Migration for agricultural purposes may complicate the already difficult…

Getting the message out: Information and communication technologies and agricultural extension
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134680
Abstract
There has been much optimism about the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to provide agricultural extension services to remote households. Yet, little is known about how different communication methods fare, and, moreover, whether different segments of the population adopt information communicated via different means equally. We conduct a randomized controlled trial…

Abstract
El acceso y uso de la información climática o agroclimática en comunidades rurales está determinado no sólo por la calidad y periodicidad de la información entregada sino también por las dinámicas sociales locales y factores como género, edad, etnia y nivel educativo.
El acceso a la información climática o agroclimática no garantiza su uso. La brecha entre acceso y uso es grande…

Helpers, employees or owners: Opportunities for women’s empowerment in agricultural value chains
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134678
Abstract
Currently there is little evidence on differentiated gender roles and empowerment in value chains in the Latin America region and few comparative analyses on value chains and between value chain nodes. In this study, we examine different indicators of women’s empowerment among the production and processing nodes of two agricultural value chains—cashew and dairy—in Honduras to understand whether…
