Abstract from the year 2022 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 90%, language: English, abstract: This paper reviews gender roles in community management of forests across three counties in Kenya namely: Nandi, Uasin Gishu, and Elgeyo Marakwet Counties. It seeks to establish an equilibrium in analyzing the access, use, and management of forest resources by individuals from both sides of the gender divide. This paper primarily investigates the relevant secondary data in line with the operationalization of the theme. It also suggests that these differences may be related to three factors: gender equity in access and dissemination of technology, a labor constraint faced by women, and a possible limitation to women's sanctioning authority. Mixed female and male groups offer an avenue for exploiting the strengths of women and men while tempering their shortcomings.
