Abstract

ABSTRACT This study documents the impact of a gender-sensitive home garden project initiated to mitigate the food and nutritional insecurity of 114 households in seven Mbororo communities in Cameroon’s Northwest region. Key lessons learned regarding the empowerment of the Mbororo women; socio-economic and nutritional health benefits derived by Mbororo households from the cultivation of nutrient-rich, high market-value, and indigenous vegetables; and challenges faced during the project lifecycle are outlined. It is envisaged these lessons will support public, private, and civil society actors initiating similar home garden projects to address the food and nutrition insecurity of other minority groups in Sub-Saharan Africa.
