AbstractObjective:To understand non-adherence to medically recommended diets among Mayans with diabetes.Design:Using partially sequential mixed methods, questionnaires, semi-structured brief and in-depth interviews were applied. Questionnaire data were analysed with Pearson’s χ2 and Student’s t tests and qualitative interviews with grounded theory microanalysis.Setting:Rural, predominantly Mayan communities in Chiapas, Quintana Roo and Yucatan, Mexico, 2008–2012.Participants:Purposive sample of Mayans with type 2 diabetes; using public health care; 168 women and twenty-seven men; age 21–50+ years.Results:Participants understood diabetes as caused by negative emotions, divine punishment, revenge via spells, chemicals in food and high sugar/fat consumption. Eliminating corn, pork, sugary beverages and inexpensive industrialized foods was perceived as difficult or impossible. More Mayans reporting not understanding physician instructions (30 v. 18 %) reported difficulty reducing red meat consumption (P = 0·051). Non-adherence was influenced by lack of patient–provider shared knowledge and medical recommendations misaligned with local culture. Men whose wives prepared their meals, women who liked vegetables and young adults whose mothers prepared their meals reported greater adherence to dietary recommendations. Partial adherents said it made life tolerable and those making no physician-recommended dietary changes considered them too restrictive (they meant ‘starving to death’). Over half (57 %) of participants reported non-adherence; the two principal reasons were dislike of recommended foods (52·5 %) and high cost (26·2 %).Conclusions:Adherence to dietary regimens in diabetes treatment is largely related to social and cultural issues. Taking cultural diversity, food preferences, local food availability and poverty into consideration is essential when developing health-promotion activities related to diabetes.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to present the results of the evaluation of the cultural heritage re‑ sources of the Mayan Mysticism Route, which includes the communities of Uxuxubi, Hidalgo y Cortés, Nuevo Xcan, Kantunilkin and Solferino, all of them located in the northern area of the state of Quintana Roo. Thie evaluation was the result of a rigorous analysis of the assets most susceptible to being valued for use as tourist attractions in an attempt to diversify the tourism on offer and generate a competitive advantage in this part of the state. For this purpose, the literature on culture, cultural heritage, cultural tourism, cultural tourism products and previous evaluations of heritage resources were reviewed. Next, the cultural heritage resources of the mentioned communities was inventoried and evaluated finally identifying which of the cul‑ tural patrimonial resources were susceptible to being integrated as cultural products.

Abstract:
This article forms the results of a study conducted by the author in an effort to be able to inform the culture of Bugis tribe tradition, which is trusted and carried out with an expectation for the benefit of a better life. The culture possessed by Bugis people in the equatorial city is very diverse, in each sub-district even has its own differences. Makan-makan in Kelambu which was carried out in West Pontianak District which was a very densely populated location of Malay-Bugis. More clearly the location is in Kelurahan Sungai Jawi Dalam, Jalan Srikaya. It was here that at that time had carried out a cultural activity called Makan-makan dalam Kelambu. This tradition is carried out by people who do celebrations and are carried out by Bugis people in general. But at that time the people who carried out the celebration were not only the original Bugis tribe, but also a mixture of Bugis Malay tribes. This is what Malay-Bugis people do in Makan-makan dalam Kelambu tradition. The tradition of Makan-makan Dalam Kelambu is a series of activities that are believed by Malay-Bugis community to be carried out for safety and a form of gratitude to the Almighty God and avoid supranatural spirit disorder.

In the paper, an attempt has been made to describe the cultural and linguistic contacts between the local Maya civilization and the Spanish conquistadores. The consequences of that contact for the local culture and Mayan-Spanish interrelationships have been discussed. The authors emphasize that as a result of this intensive and long-time contact, the Spanish culture has not been completely imposed on the Maya culture, nor has Spanish language completely subjugated the Mayan language.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Humans as dynamic creatures who have the creativity, taste and intention in their lives. Therefore, humans always try to interact by using the natural environment as a source to meet certain needs. From this interaction the emergence of culture in society can be seen from the production of cultural artifacts such as cutlery, homes and decoration or ornaments. North Sumatra is an area in Indonesia which has many ethnic groups in the region, one of them is Batak. The Toba Batak ethnic is known for his diversity of skills as a medium for expressing people's ideas in a visual form. This visual form plays a role in the development of culture and communicates the values of the beliefs and customs of the people. Ornaments or ornaments on the Toba Batak traditional house are often referred to as Gorga. Gorga is a message of desire and advice that comes from knowledge, hope, thoughts, behavioral attitudes, and beauty to be communicated. The entry of Christianity became one of the new cultural elements of the Toba Batak customs. The Toba Batak experienced a social process characterized by efforts to reduce these differences. This process of assimilation and acculturation allows cultures and ethnic groups to adapt to other cultures. This change can refer to attitudes, values, and identity, even the Gorga ornament itself in the Toba Batak architecture. Gorga ornaments undergo a process of acculturation and assimilation so that it starts to be widely applied to modern public buildings. The church as a symbol of the relationship with the creator needs ornaments to carry implied meanings. The meaning of ornament that was understood before, from the understanding of Toba Batak cultural traditions experienced a constructive shift in meaning towards the understanding of church tradition. This gives enthusiasm, as well as an opportunity to preserve and develop local wisdom and values of the Toba Batak community in the life of modern society. </p><p><br /> <br /><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Manusia sebagai mahluk yang dinamis yang memiliki cipta, rasa dan karsa dalam kehidupannya. Oleh karena itu, manusia senantiasa berupaya berinteraksi dengan menggunakan alam lingkungan sebagai salah satu sumber untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tertentu. Dari interaksi inilah munculnya kebudayaan dalam masyarakat yang dapat dilihat dari dihasilkannya artefak artefak budaya seperti peralatan makan, rumah tinggal dan ragam hias atau ornamen. Sumatera Utara merupakan daerah di Indonesia yang memiliki banyak etnis suku di wilayahnya salah satunya suku Batak. Etnis Batak Toba dikenal dengan keaneka ragaman keterampilan sebagai suatu media ungkapan ide masyarakat dalam bentuk visual. Bentuk visual inilah yang berperan dalam pengembangan kebudayaan serta mengkomunikasikan nilai-nilai kepercayaan dan adat istiadat masyarakatnya. Ornamen atau ragam hias pada rumah adat Batak Toba sering disebut dengan istilah Gorga. Gorga merupakan suatu pesan hasrat dan nasehat yang bersumber dari pengetahuan, harapan, buah pikiran, sikap perilaku, dan keindahan yang hendak dikomunikasikan. Masuknya agama Kristen menjadi salah satu unsur kebudayaan baru pada adat istiadat Batak Toba. Batak Toba mengalami suatu proses sosial yang ditandai dengan adanya usaha-usaha mengurangi perbedaan-perbedaan tersebut. Proses asimilasi dan akulturasi ini memungkinkan budaya dan kelompok etnis menyesuaikan diri dengan budaya yang lain. Perubahan ini dapat merujuk kepada sikap,nilai, dan jati diri, bahkan ornamen Gorga itu sendiri pada arsitektur Batak Toba. Ornamen Gorga mengalami proses akulturasi dan asimilasi sehingga mulai banyak diterapkan pada bangunan publik modern. Gereja sebagai simbol hubungan dengan pencipta membutuhkan ornamen untuk membawa makna-makna yang tersirat. Makna ornamen yang dipahami sebelumnya, dari pemahaman tradisi budaya Batak Toba mengalami pergeseran makna yang konstruktif terhadap pemahaman tradisi gereja. Hal tersebut memberikan semangat, serta kesempatan untuk melestarikan serta mengembangkan kearifan lokal dan nilai-nilai masyarakat Batak Toba ke dalam kehidupan masyarakat modern.</p>

Contemporary African-American classical composers Cedric Adderley, John Lane, and Trevor Weston intertwine strands of culture and individual experience to produce musical works whose distinct designs offer cultural resources that music educators can use to integrate diversity into instructional settings. Of special interest is their ability to combine traditional European styles and other musical styles, including jazz, gospel, and blues, in their music. The authors include recommendations for incorporating elements of these contemporary African-American–composed works into the curriculum.

Abstract:
We investigate the empirical relationship between ethnicity and culture, defined as a vector of traits reflecting norms, values, and attitudes. Using survey data for 76 countries, we find that ethnic identity is a significant predictor of cultural values, yet that within-group variation in culture trumps between-group variation. Thus, in contrast to a commonly held view, ethnic and cultural diversity are unrelated. Although only a small portion of a country's overall cultural heterogeneity occurs between groups, we find that various political economy outcomes (such as civil conflict and public goods provision) worsen when there is greater overlap between ethnicity and culture.

Abstract:
Cultural diversity is, as biodiversity, an element of the common heritage of humanity, whose defense is an ethical imperative inseparable from respect for the dignity of the human person. The concept of cultural diversity permits the existence of a variety of different cultures that are not, by far, isolated, but interact and intersect at all times. The UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expression of 2005 stated that cultural diversity is a defining feature of humanity and is aware of the fact that cultural diversity is a common heritage of humanity, being necessary for humanity just as biodiversity is necessary for nature . Everyone has the right to participate in cultural life, to have access to culture, has the right to respect for cultural identity and to identify with a cultural community, has the right to cultural, religious and linguistic diversity, the right to freely run cultural activities, etc. In this study the author will attempt to analyze and define the concept of "cultural diversity" as well as its basic culture component.

Abstract:
The paper is aimed to present a concept of globalization in the of contemporary discourse of cultural diversity. It is argued here that the conditions of contemporary multiethnic and multicultural world do not require any unification in the form of universalistic globalization, but instead the development of modern globalization process in form of cultural diversity. In most recent theoretical debates, depending on the character of the process of globalization (homogeneous or fragmentary), two trends of investigation of this process arise: (i) globalization on the basis of the idea of progress which leads to a homogeneous world (universalism); (ii) globalization on the basis of representation of the world’s real diversity (multiculturalism). Theorists of globalization stress the fact that an economic-homogenization paradigm is becoming powerful in both academic and popular usage. They then focus their attention on the increased integration of the global economy and its homogenizing effects on state policy and culture. As for homogeneous (i.e. universalistic) discussions, the tendency for many issues to assume apposite values –on the segment comprising comparative version of globalization or elite version globalization – arise. Multicultural concepts of globalization, based on the recognition of the world real diversity, are popular because of their non-repressive and tolerant form. Appraisals of multiculturalism as an intellectual trend, which could be evaluated as a core of recent multi-globalization process, are controversial (as for example in the works by J.Searle, R.Rorty, Ch. Taylor) The main problem about the interpretation of contemporary globalization process as multicultural globalization is investigated in this paper by means of the analysis of the change of modern values of European culture and philosophy. Relevant discussions here are centred on the reinterpretation of the classical philosophical paradigm, concerned with reevaluation of the relation of the main philosophical categories; subject and object. Interpretation of the subject has been changed in contemporary philosophical discourse of the following directions: (i) weakness of the opposition of subject and object; (ii) interpretation of the subject in terms of the death of author (term by R.Bart); (iii) interpretation of subject in the context of cultural diversity (in terms of female philosophy, whiteness, blackness, etc). Paper then put into focus change of the main values of European culture and philosophy: rationality, liberalism, individualism. Rationality, liberalism, individualism loose their classical form and replaced by diverse, pluralistic, flexible values. Change of the main values of European culture influence greately on the character of contemporary globalization process, which develops in the direction of the appreciation of the world real diversity. Interpretations of multicultural are based on the multiculturalism as trend of contemporary philosophical and political discourse. Multiculturalism is closely associated with identity politics, the politics of difference and the politics of recognition, all of which share a commitment to revaluing disrespected identities and changing dominant patterns of representation and communication that marginalize certain groups. Multicultural claims include a wide range of claims involving religion, language, ethnicity, nationality and race. Culture is overbroad concept, and all of these categories have been subsumed by the concept of culture. The paper presents the interpretation of multicultural globalization on the base some theoretical ideas of multiculturalism. The main trend of multicultural globalization embrace the concept of cultural diversity. Diverse cultural identities and languages are irreducibly social and cultural goods, which should be presumed to be of the equal worth. The recognition of the equal worth of diverse cultures requires replacing the traditional liberal regime of identical liberties and opportunities for all citizens with a scheme of special rights for minority cultural groups. Culture is to be instrumentally valuable to individuals, for two reasons. First, it enables individual authonomy. Second, culture is instrumentally valuable for individual self-respect. As final remark, we think that within the boundaries of multicultural type of globalization, a new democratic politics permitting a dialogue for distinct cultural and religious groups and the ground for their consensus could be achieved.

The method used in this investigation is ethnographic type, privileging for its execution and complementaring three techniques: the observation, the documental analysis and the interview.

The theoretical referential used in this investigation takes contributions of Geertz, McLaren, Coe, Covo, Garces, Hatse and De Cueste, and D'Ambrosio. The investigation shows that a relationship exists among the social practices experienced of the q'eqchi' with the mathematical processes of counting, calculate and measure; and these are used in different levels and appropriation that are generally determined and marked by factors that foment and/or deteriorate the use of the System of Vigesimal Numeration.

O referente teórico usado nesta investigação considera principalmente as contribuições de Geertz, McLaren, Coe, Covo, Garces, Hatse e De Cueste, e D Ambrosio. A investigação mostra que existe uma relação entre as praticas sociais vivenciadas pelos q eqchi com os processos matemáticos de contagem, cálculo e medição; e estes são usados em distintos níveis de profundidade e apropriação, que geralmente são determinados e marcados por fatores que fomentam e/ou deterioram o uso do sistema de numeração vigesimal. Este sistema é utilizado principalmente na família, na escola e nas cerimônias mayas. Com isto se pode dizer; que o sistema vigesimal não só é importante para quantificar os bens materiais, resolver situações-problemas e conservar a cultura, mas também para manifestar-se espiritualmente

Abstract:
This study explored methods of identifying and describing diversity related to cultural data in educational settings using the individual profile of variables as a unit of study more appropriate than the variable when making decisions regarding instruction of small groups of individual students or when designing curriculum. Method. The construct of culture as the organization of diversity as opposed to culture as the replication of uniformity (Wallace, 1961a) was taken as an organizing principle for the study. Two research strategies (a data processing technique and a descriptive conceptualization) which matched the two definitions of diversity, variability in form and distinction in kind, were applied to pre-existing data sets, cognitive style, and goals and values, collected from a single set of 67 subjects in a major city in the American southwest. Results. Central Instance Analysis, the data processing technique that matched the variability in form definition of diversity produced a prototype and groups of increasing difference from the prototype. Unexpected variations in the form of the prototype occurred. Q-Factor Analysis is not recommended for further use as a data processing technique to match the distinction in kind definition of diversity because it places unrealistic restrictions on the very practical data sets educators might want to use. Although there are no specific hypotheses regarding outliers in the study, information about outliers was generated.

Abstract:
Purpose: This study aims to investigate, if Multinational Corporations incorporate employees’ culture while forming their organisational culture and the impact of cultural integration on the organisation’s business activities.  Design/methodology/approach: This is an exploratory research in which qualitative data is used. Interviews were administered to 14 employees at Sandvik AB, Sandviken in Sweden. As for validity and reliability, the data for this work was collected from a real life case (Sandvik) and the interview responses were transcribed and analysed in relation to what other scholars consider together with the ideas of the authors.  Findings: This study shows that MNCs incorporate employees’ culture into their organisational culture. Factors of employees’ cultures are present in the organisational culture of Sandvik. Cultural integration as indicated by this study influences job performance, job satisfaction, and give a good image to the organization. It improves team members’ skills and creates aspiration among the employees.  Originality/value and contribution: This topic seems to be one of the few studies that investigate if MNCs incorporate employees’ culture into their organisational culture. It therefore fills the theoretical gap in this area of study. The study contributes to the few studies of integrating employees’ culture into an organisational culture and acts as a start-up guide to future studies.  Limitation: Only one MNC is used in this study. Ideally, another MNC would have been investigated, so as to know if the present results are recurrent with another case. The study is also limited to only the aspect that deals with the integration of employee’s culture into an organisational culture, and not cultural diversity in its totality. It is of interest for scholars in future studies to examine the topic under review relating to several organisations.

Abstract:
Diversity is a positive aspect of a student's educational experience. Current literature supports the value of diversity, confirming that skills are developed within a diverse learning environment that prepares students to thrive in a competitive global economy. The leadership at University X (UX) had implemented various initiatives to improve diversity, yet the problem addressed in this study was that students perceived differently, citing that diversity growth lacked progress. The goal of this single case study was to bring forth change with a specific intervention created to elevate diversity and a positive campus climate. Maslow's hierarchy of needs was used to explore the perceptions of 8 students regarding diversity progress at UX. Research questions focused on why students perceived little progress had been made toward diversity and how the culture could support diverse students. Face-to-face interviews yielded data analyzed through a descriptive approach, generating findings baring 2 central themes: communication and the existing cultural environment. The resulting project consists of a position paper proposing 2 bold strategies for infusing diversity and inclusion on the campus. Strategy 1 outlines a communication plan designed to facilitate review of UX's guiding documents, along with a regular, ongoing method for communicating to the campus. Strategy 2 proposes the implementation of a university wide cultural sensitivity training for campus membership to heighten cultural awareness. This project contributes to social change by raising knowledge and recognition of cultural diversity that will help perpetuate student persistence, intercultural competency, quality social interactions, a positive racial climate, and well-developed cognitive and leadership skills within the student body.

Abstract:
This study examines how the concepts of biomedical ethics are considered in Islam and how historical Islamic medical scholars treated the concept of ethics in their practice of medicine. Moreover, this research explores the principle of autonomy in biomedical ethics as a factor in Islamic practice of medicine. The issue of autonomy in medical practice is an important topic of discussion requiring examination of the methods of its adaptation and application in Muslim-majority countries. The value and significance of this topic continues at a global level, involving Muslim communities in Non-Muslim countries experiencing religious and social diversity. The fieldwork of this study was conducted in Turkey, Jordan and Gaza Strip, Palestine, investigating the subject matter with practitioners in health care sectors as well as with leading academics, researchers, non-government organizations and policymakers. The results indicate that the principle of autonomy is not fully implemented in the three countries from an Islamic perspective.<br>博士(グローバル社会研究)<br>Doctor of Philosophy in Global Society Studies<br>同志社大学<br>Doshisha University

Abstract:
Experiences in the early years of life are increasingly recognised as significant predictors of long-term cognitive and psychosocial behaviour. This thesis focuses on one aspect of early development: the cultural identity of the young child and investigates the influence of continuity of practice between home and the child care centre in this development. The use of child care services for very young children has increased dramatically in the past two decades. For the first time in history there may be more babies aged 0-3 years in care situations than babies who are cared for at home - this impacts upon the child’s micro-culture (individual, unconscious practices guided by beliefs, norms and values) and macro-culture (ritualistic, symbolic behaviour, often conscious which is tied to belonging to an ethnic group). This study investigates the way in which child care centres contribute to the development of micro and macro-cultural identity in very young children. This study was originally designed to increase the knowledge base about the ways in which interactions with children (particularly in relation to sleep and feeding micro-cultural practices) differ between home and child care service and the implications of these differing practices. As the study progressed a new focus was developed and evolved into an analysis of communication processes between parents and staff and the effects of those communication processes. Qualitative methods on non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews and semi-structured questionnaires were used to address the research questions. Recommendations from the study focus on setting level and policy issues. The early childhood sector is called on to redress notions around communication and partnership building with parents<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Abstract:
The Casa K’ojom in La Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, houses a unique collection of physical objects and audiovisual materials devoted to Mayan cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible. What began as a private collection has evolved into a museum where thousands of visitors have learned about Mayan culture and music. This paper highlights the development and care of the collections from the perspective of the Casa K’ojom’s founder and current director, Samuel Franco Arce. It reviews the steps he is taking to preserve the collection’s analogue and digital material for the future, all the while not neglecting important non-digital artefacts. It also proposes future solutions to issues within an archive that has to address constantly changing technologies, user needs, audiovisual formats and intellectual property rights laws.

Abstract:
Knowledge of self is at the core of all human endeavours. In the quest identity assumes significance. It acquired greater relevance and respect on account of Postcolonial concerns. ‘Class’ emerged as the basis of a person’s identity. Subsequent to liberation of colonies from alien rule, postcolonial concerns gained ground. Focus on indigenous ways of life adds new dimension. Social, cultural, psychological and economic structures became the basis of one’s own view of identity. These dynamics are applicable to languages that flourished, perished or are on the verge of extinction. In India, regional, linguistic, religious diversity add to the complexity of the issue in addition to several subcultures that exist. Culture is not an independent variable. Historical factors, political developments, geographical and climatic conditions along with economic policies followed do contribute to a larger extent in fixing the contours of a country’s culture. Institutional modifications also sway the stability of national culture. Cultural transmission takes place in diverse ways. It is not unidirectional and unilateral. In many countries culture models are passed on from one generation to another through recitation. The learners memorize the cultural expressions without understanding meaning or social significance of what is communicated to them. Naturally, this practice results in hierarchical patterns and hegemony of vested elements. This is how norms of ‘high’ and ‘low’ are formed and extended to written works and oral/folk literatures respectively. This presentation focuses on the identity, culture and language of indigenous people in Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in South India.

Abstract:
Diversity is a relative concept, which has been applied to a number of domains, such as culture and biology. A simple measure of diversity is derived by drawing from the domains of biological and cultural diversity, as well as, information retrieval for its measurement capabilities. This domain independent diversity measure can be used to determine diversity between entities in any collection that can be expressed as features and their values. The measurement can be applied to a single feature or to any combination of features. The entities may be, among other things, words in a document, biological species in an environment, people in an organization, or records in a data set. This diversity measure provides a single value for entities in their collection; measuring the relative diversity of the entity with respect to the other entities in the collection. This tool can be used to compare and contrast diversity between collections of entities, or within the same collection over time.

Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this report is to provide an understanding of cultural diversity in today’s global economy and to understand what shapes our identities and what influences our behavior. Background: Culture is the way of functioning in today’s world and it refers to the shared language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects that are passed down from one generation to the next. Cultural diversity helps individuals recognize and respect the stewpot of today’s world and promoting cultural diversity and cultural competency helps individuals define and respect the diversity that encompasses today. Cultural competence also helps individuals embrace values and cultural nuances that are not necessarily akin to the one’s the individual possesses. Individuals interact with others to build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures. Furthermore, diversity makes the world a more interesting place to live, as people from diverse backgrounds contribute language, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences. Methodology: A non-systematic literature review by way of reviewing articles that were found in many of major databases under the terms “Diversity in the workplace” since the year 2010 was conducted. Findings: This study identified major findings that would help individuals shape the diversity encountered and provides an avenue toward unity.

Abstract:
The difference between socio-economic systems is an important factor in the diversity of urban form. M. R. G. Conzen (1960) established a framework for urban morphology in the context of a British social system and culture. It was suggested that this did not necessarily apply to cities affected by revolutionary planning measures. China, which is markedly different in social system and culture from Britain by most standards qualifies as revolutionary, at least in the post-war period. Sanlitun in Beijing, China, is an interesting case for comparison with British cities. It was a site containing few buildings during the initial stage of new China, but subsequently became the ‘Second Embassy District’ where many embassies gathered. Now it has become a commercial core district and cultural meeting place of Westerners and Chinese. The townscape of Sanlitun, which has experienced a number of socialist construction periods reveals the process of changing urban form under a socialist system. Identifying morphological periods, the changing process of townscape development in Sanlitun is articulated. Morphological units are delimited. They clarify the variations in Sanlitun’s landscapes and their formation. Based on these, this paper reflects on the shaping process of townscape under different socio-cultural systems, and further considers the universality, applicability and particularities of Conzenian theory.

Abstract:
Previous research on the reproductive health of adolescents and youth in Pakistan has not addressed the diversity of adolescent experiences based on social status, residence, and gender. To understand the transition from adolescence to adulthood more fully, it is important to assess social, economic, and cultural aspects of that transition. This brief presents the experience of married and unmarried young people (males and females) from different social strata and residence regarding their own attitudes and expectations about reproductive health. More young people aged 15–24 live in Pakistan now than at any other time in its history—an estimated 36 million in 2004. Recognizing the dearth of information on this large group of young people, the Population Council undertook a nationally representative survey from October 2001 to March 2002. The analysis presented here comes from Adolescents and Youth in Pakistan 2001–02: A Nationally Representative Survey. The survey sought information from youth aged 15–24, responsible adults in the household, and other community members in 254 communities. A total of 6,585 households were visited and 8,074 young people were interviewed.

Abstract:
There is a growing body of literature that argues that normally women derive little benefit from cash crops. Some of the barriers leading to women having less benefit from cash crop value chains include cultural norms and power differences in access to, and control over, resources among actors in value chains. It is also argued that women’s participation in different forms of collective action help women to increase benefits to them through their increased agency, hence enabling them to utilise existing and diverse options for their empowerment. This paper explores how women have benefited from their engagement in sunflower commercialisation and how culture has influenced changes in access to, and control over, resources, including land, for their empowerment.
