 note = {Studies indicate that women farmers across sub-Saharan Africa, including Mali, encounter significant barriers in accessing land, credit, equipment, and markets necessary for their livelihood activities. These challenges are rooted in socio-cultural values and practices which discriminate against them. Agricultural cooperatives appear to be a channel through which farmers can meet their economic and social needs by maximizing benefits, reducing costs, and sharing risks. Using data collected through interviews with 300 members of 15 cooperatives in various regions of Mali in early 2020, this thesis examines agricultural cooperatives’ roles in expanding small-scale women farmers’ agrarian resource access. Based on the theory of empowerment and agency, the outcomes reveal that cooperative involvement increases women’s agency in predominantly masculine settings, thus improving their resource access and control., application/pdf},
