This study is part of a worldwide research program, Broadening Access and Strengthening Input Market Systems (BASIS). The study was designed to challenge the belief that it is too difficult to apply integrated approaches to the issue of food security. It assumed that the use of gender analysis and participatory processes creates the opportunity and provides the framework for developing integrated approaches to food security, and then it examined examples in four countries — Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda — that applied these approaches to improving household food security.

In 2001, WIDTECH's small grants program gave Winrock International Ethiopia a grant to examine and document the development, dissemination, types, and use of appropriate technologies, and to analyze the extent to which technologies were adopted by the intended beneficiaries and the impact that technologies had on women's lives.
