Feed the Future Nepal Baseline Household Survey, Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index-Household File

data.usaid.gov | Last Updated 13 Nov 2018

The Nepal Population-Based Survey (PBS) provides a comprehensive assessment of the current status of agriculture and food security in 20 districts across the western, mid-western and far-western development regions of the country. This file reports household level data from the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI). The WEAI measures the empowerment, agency, and inclusion of women in the agriculture sector in an effort to identify and address the constraints that limit women’s full engagement in the agriculture sector.
