it is important to understand the differential effects of extreme climate events on
men and women as well as their adaptation strategies. Gender-specific barriers that
pose constraints to adaptation strategies of men and women should be understood
and addressed to enable them to better adapt to the effects of weather shocks. It is
also important to build the skills of women in order to empower them to access crop
(rice) technologies that are better adapted to ECV conditions and technologies,
which will facilitate them in regard to labor shortages and quality production.
Lastly, women should be engaged in other off-farm interventions that are income
generating.
