dc.description.abstractTo make the Agro-Tech SmartEx Model more gender responsive and able to reach more women, recommendations include service packages that reflect gender roles and responsibilities along the value chain. For instance, regarding capacity to pay for e-extension and services delivery, a gradual process of payment mechanism should be instituted that is amenable to women farmers, as well as an emphasis on marketing and market outlets aligned with women’s needs. This paper reviews barriers to agricultural extension services that women farmers face, such as lack of productive assets - particularly land, and heavy workloads spent on household chores and care giving.en
