Methodology
Instrument Structured questionnaire
Sampling Survey respondents were pooled from 44 villages located in 3 Upazilas Bagerhat and Satkhira districts. A total of 196, out of the 202 households targeted in Morrelganj Upazila of Bagerhat District, were covered in this research study. The total number of respondents that were interviewed from these households was 360 comprising of 167 males and 192 females. A total of 220 households were sampled in Satkhira District, including 159 households in Kaliganj and 61 households in Shyamnagar Upazila. The total number of respondents that were interviewed from these households was 433 comprising of 380 males and 412 females. Prior to data collection, the research team was trained on the objectives of the survey, the interpretation of questions, and how to record data. The survey questionnaire was pre-tested at the same time and necessary adjustments were made before data collection. Data were collected on the three previous agricultural seasons, that is, from August 2011 to August 2012. The survey covered the same households that were sampled for the IMPACT Lite surveys to supplement the detailed productivity-related information collected through that survey

Abstract

The IFPRI-CCAFS Gender and Climate Change Survey data were collected between April and May 2013 as part of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) under the project "Increasing Women’s Resilience to Confront Climate Change." It aimed to enhance understanding of gendered climate change perceptions, impacts, adaptation, and coping strategies, as well as the constraints to adaptation within two CCAFS research sites in Bangladesh, Bagerhat and Satkhira.

Data were collected on the three previous agricultural seasons, that is, from August 2011 to August 2012. The survey covered the same households that were sampled for the IMPACT Lite surveys, designed by researchers at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in order to supplement the detailed productivity-related information collected through that survey.

Gender-disaggregated data were gathered on climate change perceptions, agricultural activities, decision-making, weather information, risk perceptions, and adaptation. Information was also collected on assets, farming decisions, agricultural practices, respondents’ access to information, extension services, and credit; and their participation in community groups. Data were gathered through the use of questionnaires administered through face-to-face interviews. Two adult decision makers (one male and one female) were interviewed separately per household in order to capture independent perceptions.
