The 12-month research project, sponsored by the Canadian government through the African Institute for Mathematical Science Next Einstein Initiative (
AIMS NEI) fellowship for women in climate change science, seeks to increase female participation and contribution to responses to climate change.
Clara Ifeanyi-Obi, the lead researcher, said the project will be carried out in the 17 southern states and will focus on integrating gender into climate adaptation efforts and addressing issues that hinder climate change adaptation in agriculture.
According to her, despite having more numbers in the agricultural sector, women are excluded from climate change adaptation efforts and strategies of both government and private agencies and this has affected food security in the country.
