Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the effectiveness of the adaptation strategies employed by women smallholder farmers in the face of climate change and variability using Chayamiti as the case study. The study aimed at exploring the effectiveness of adaptation strategies employed by Chayamiti women farmers paying particular attention to climate sensitive livelihoods such as agriculture, food security and health sector that are most likely to be affected by the violent projections of climate change and variability. Throughout the process of collecting data relevant to this study, the researcher employed an integrated approach of qualitative and quantitative methods. The major findings of the research were mainly on: the impacts of climate change and variability on the female farmer’s operations in Chayamiti, the effectiveness of the adaptation strategies they employ in the face of climate shocks and the challenges they face in effectively adapting to climate change and variability. Lastly, the study made several recommendations pertaining to measures to be put in place to enhance the effectiveness of adaptation measures of rural women farmers in the face of climate change and variability.
