* What are the differences between Male Headed Households and Female Headed Households?
Other considerations
FGDs as well as social norms and barriers analysis can provide qualitative information and verification, regarding socio cultural and external factors (climate, pests and diseases, insecurity, input markets, prices, etc.). Further information from CARE , IFPRI, and FAO.
