Busitema University.https://bdears.busitema.ac.ug/handle/123456789/1644This 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.en-USThesis
