    Challenges hindering women's access to agriculture production resources in bunabutsale, manafwa district
    (Busitema University, 2024) Wamusiru Ivan
    This study aimed to identify the key barriers that women face in accessing resources for agricultural production in Bunabutsale, Manafwa District. The specific objectives were to: examine cultural and societal norms that may hinder access to resources; and investigate the effectiveness of existing policies and programs supporting women in agriculture. Data were collected using a cross-sectional survey design from a sample of 40 respondents. The findings revealed that 65% of women face significant barriers in accessing agricultural resources, primarily due to limited access to financial support (70%), inadequate agricultural inputs (60%), and restrictive cultural norms (55%). The study concluded that while several policies and programs exist, their effectiveness is hampered by low awareness and limited outreach, with only 40% of women benefiting from them. Recommendations include enhancing policy implementation, increasing accessibility to financial resources, and improving community awareness of support programs.
