Newly introduced agroforestry practices were not effectively employed in this case study, and traditional cultivation practices remained. While women were more active in the project, decision making on land use remained controlled by husbands and fathers-in-law. Women’s workloads increased as a result of the project and there was no joint sharing of productive and reproductive responsibilities. Gender issues in the project were confined to awareness raising on domestic violence without integrating gender issues of access to, and control of resources.
