Energy access, entrepreneurship and gender dynamics in food security in Sub-Saharan Africa
This study delves into the intricate interplay of gender dynamics within the realms of food security, energy access, and entrepreneurship in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Through a comprehensive analysis, it seeks to uncover the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women and men in these critical sectors. Data for the study was obtained from the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and World Development Indicators (WDI). The system Generalized Method of Moments (SGMM) was used for the analysis. Results show that women entrepreneurs face unique challenges in accessing resources and markets, which can impact their ability to contribute to food security. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of gender-sensitive policies and programs that support women entrepreneurs in the food sector.
