dc.description.abstractLocalized application of small quantities of fertilizer (micro-dosing), combined with improved planting pits for rainwater harvesting, has generated greater profits and food security for women farmers in the Sahel. The project is targeting food crops managed by poor rural men and women. In the project countries, about 20 microfinance institutions are engaged in a “warrantage” system of microfinance with smallholder farmers. The planting and irrigation technologies can potentially triple the profits of women adopters. Specific agricultural extension policies are therefore needed to ensure that all women in the Sahel can benefit.en
