The study was carried out in the Bechem Forest District of Ghana to examine and analyse issues of gender under the Modified Taungya System. The objective of the study was to find out if there was equity in the distribution of resources between the sexes under the modified taungya system. A total of 141 participants (made up of 40 nursery operators and 101 farmers) were randomly sampled in four communities for administration of a questionnaire. The study revealed that women provided more labour, mostly in less labour intensive activities at the nursery. Access to productive resources, extension services was almost the same for both sexes. Rights to land were varied among communities under the MTS, being influenced by the type of inheritance practised. Findings seem to suggest that women play as equal a role as men under the programme, and the benefits for both sexes seem equitable.
