A paper by Rhoda Mofya-Mukuka and Mulako Kabisa presents a study which set out 'to contribute to a better understanding of how to measure the impacts of agricultural extension services on nutrition and gender outcomes within the Zambian context. Specifically, the study: i. Discusses some agricultural extension interventions that exist or have existed in Zambia in the last five years with a primary focus on promoting gender equity and/or nutrition; ii. Examines measurement tools and indicators used to measure impact of the interventions on gender equity and nutrition; and iii. Discusses the challenges experienced by organizations in Zambia in applying specific measurement tools. The study identified agricultural projects with significant components focused on gender equity and nutrition outcomes, and reviewed how the impact of their interventions on promoting gender equity and nutrition outcomes is measured.'
