description: Climate-change and variability (CC&V) exerts multiple stresses on  agriculture production. It negatively impacts gender-cadres especially in  Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands that occupy 89% (area), 36% (population),  70% (livestock), and 90% (wildlife). Smallholders with limited resources  endowments have adopted climate-smart agriculture technologies, which are  viewed as a panacea to CC&V in addressing interlinked food-security  challenges. This paper reports baseline survey results on 149 randomly selected  households in Kalii watershed. Primary and secondary data were collected in  March 2015. Data-analyses encompassed regressions, descriptive statistics and  gender-analysis. Local perceptions/results revealed precipitations downwardtrend  and an upward-trend of temperatures, and other elements, and outcomes  of CC&V. Gender and innovations are statistically significant at (p<0.05).  Decision-making on assets’ and proceeds’ control and use, was men’s domain.  Invariably, gender and climate-smart agriculture innovations are critical in food  and nutrition security strategy under CC&V.
