abstract: 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.
