| Abstract | : | Women empowerment implications are multiplied by their multiple roles in households. Besides, climate change and variability affect women more than men in social, economic, or ecological services.To what extent does gender mainstreaming contribute to enhancement of rural agricultre outputs for climate change resilient commmunities in Africa?We present a coordinated, participatory, and a holistic framework for planning the desired gender equality and women empowerment strategies. We used lessons learned, best practices, and policy applications to illustrate the vital need for gender equality mainstreaming for better agriculture outputs for basic food security and nutrition policy information services. The negative outputs of agriculture have affected food security status due to poor policy, legal, social, economic, political, and environmental perspectives of women’s roles agriculture and food security. Currently, there is an urgent need to plan local, national, and regional level measures for women and youth and develop comprehensive plans in response to the current and projected agriculture information services with a focus on ICT. We attempt to provide a local strategy for addressing the gender equality policy community media communication strategy to enhance climate smart agriculture, food security, and food trade by most countries of the region. Africa faces serious social, economic, political, and environmental climate effects, gender inequality, agriculture production gaps, information deficiencyy, data gaps, gross youth unemployment, and perenniel food security crisis. Effective rural development communication strategy enhances north-south cooperation and agriculture production benefits of available, accessible, usable, and stable food for women as well as empowerment. |
