| Sumario: | Men and women both play significant, though different, economic roles in Uganda (both contribute around 50% of GDP and women are 39% of business owners).

Labor and time constraints differentially affect women's and men's capacity to engage in business activity, with significant consequences for agricultural productivity in the context of strategic exports. It is therefore important for Uganda to unleash the full productive potential of fema. |
