While specific schemes are not identified, Ngenda (1993) mentions that marital status was used
in some schemes as a criteria for participation. In those cases, married women could not be considered
as individuals to own farms or plots. Single women without children were also not eligible for these
schemes unless they were backed by a male figure or had a position in the ruling political party
structure at the local level. The available data are not gender specific except in two cases shown in
tables 6.9 and 6.10.
