Key messages

• Women and men having different access to assets results in barriers when implementing sustainable land management (SLM).
• This can be ‘corrected’ by building understanding of gender dynamics amongst extension agency and project implementation staff.
• Riparian zone management is the most challenging and least adopted SLM practice.
• Riparian buffer zones are a high priority for both the Nairobi Water Fund (NWF) and farmers’ livelihoods.
