Abstract

This background note assesses policy frameworks in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia in terms of support to sustainability, the inclusion of gender and age, intra-household relations and the role of local institutions. The note concludes by arguing that through reducing discrimination and increasing benefits from sustainable intensification, poorer citizens, women and youth will be more likely to increase commitment to the local state, including willingness to finance it through taxation
