From a gender baseline study undertaken by the Upper Tana Catchment Natural Resources MAnagement Project (UTaNRMP) in 2014, it emerged that on land ownership, 85.8% of the family land was registered under the man of the household and 7.4% under women. On gender workload analysis, the study established that in sections of the project area, women work an average of 15-17 hours per day against 6-10hours worked by men. On the other hand, men would get up to seven hours of rest in a day while women would rest for one hour or less in a day.
