Abstract
The interest of this paper is on the adoption of agricultural adaptive measures in the context of climate change and variability and gender equity in Rwanda. Bench terraces, erosion fences, erosion ditches, and planting of trees are the most adaptive measures considered for the analysis. Results from a multinomial logit estimation put into perspective gender, land tenure security, and capacity variables such as wealth index for future adaptation to climate change and variability in Rwanda. The comparison between male and female headed households for various interventions including those of climate adaptation needs to be put into a specific context and perspective.
