Changing Women’s Roles in Homestead Management: Mainstreaming Women in Rural Development

This paper has been prepared as part of CPD's advocacy activities with IRRI under the PETRRA project and was presented at the dialogue on Women's Contribution to Rural Economic Activities: Making the Invisible Visible. It reports the result of the focus group discussions with men and women as a supplement to the quantitative information gathered from household surveys as presented in the CPD Occasional Paper 41. Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were conducted in 8 out of the 62 villages from 57 districts included in the quantitative study.
