Through these interviews and group discussions, project members were able to investigate and document the root causes of gender inequalities in the Rahamna province. They identified barriers that significantly hinder women from benefiting equitably from agricultural development projects. The diagnostic also examined income-generating projects carried out for rural women under the Green Morocco Plan, both successful and unsuccessful ones.
The findings provide examples of various challenges, including women’s limited access to resources like land, credit, extension services, and technology. Education and opportunities for decision-making are also an issue. Additionally, the surveys emphasized obstacles within Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB), such as a restricted comprehension of gender-related concerns in agriculture and a lack of data and statistics disaggregated by gender, among other factors.
