摘要

本文的目的是批判性地考察跨国石油公司(moc)在尼日利亚的企业社会责任(CSR)举措。它的特别重点是调查全球谅解备忘录(GMoU)对发展具有创业精神的农村妇女的影响,使她们成为种子、粮食和传统知识的保管人,从而提高尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区抵御气候变化的能力。设计/方法/方法本文采用调查研究技术,旨在从人口的代表性样本收集信息,因为它本质上是横断面的,描述和解释当前的情况。在尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区的农村地区共抽样调查了768名农村妇女。使用组合倾向得分匹配和logit模型的结果表明,moc的企业社会责任干预措施很少,旨在增强农村妇女作为种子、粮食和传统知识的托管者的能力,以适应气候变化,在提高妇女在农业生产中的作用方面取得了显著成功,特别是在妇女参与整个价值链方面。这表明,任何旨在增加农村妇女获得种子保存设施、食品加工设施和推广系统的MOCs CSR的增加,都会影响到可用于减缓气候变化的大量知识和专业知识,减灾和适应战略将加强妇女在家庭和社区中作为自然和家庭资源管理者的责任,并将使她们处于有利地位,为适应不断变化的环境现实的生计战略作出贡献。这意味着,MOCs的“转基因生物”政策和做法应加强妇女的参与,重视和承认妇女的知识,使妇女和男性农民能够参与农业、粮食生产和土地治理的决策过程,因为需要承认和支持妇女作为该地区的主要粮食生产者,能够通过小规模农业生态耕作系统培育健康食品和气候变化抵御能力。原创性/价值本研究从发展中国家企业社会责任的角度为农业中的性别争论做出了贡献,并解释了东道国社区对社会项目需求的合理性。它的结论是,企业有义务帮助解决公众关注的问题。

The impact of CSR on rural women custodians of seed, food and climate change resilience in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the multinational oil companies’ (MOCs) corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in Nigeria. Its special focus is to investigate the impact of the global memorandum of understanding (GMoU) on development of enterprising rural women as custodians of seed, food and traditional knowledge for climate change resilience in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a survey research technique, aimed at gathering information from a representative sample of the population, as it is essentially cross-sectional, describing and interpreting the current situation. A total of 768 rural women respondents were sampled across the rural areas of the Niger Delta region in Nigeria. Findings The results from the use of a combined propensity score matching and logit model indicated that the meagre interventions of MOCs’ CSR targeted at the empowerment of rural women as custodians of seed, food and traditional knowledge for climate change resilience recorded significant success in improving the role of women in agricultural production, especially in women’s involvement across value chains. Practical implications This suggests that any increase in the MOCs’ CSR targeted at increasing rural women’s access to seed preservation facilities, food processing facilities and extension systems that impact a strong body of knowledge and expertise that can be used in climate change mitigation, disaster reduction and adaptation strategies will enhance women’s responsibilities in households and communities as stewards of natural and household resources and will position them well to contribute to livelihood strategies adapted to changing environmental realities. Social implications This implies that MOCs’ GMoUs’ policies and practices should enhance women’s participation, value and recognize women’s knowledge and enable women as well as men farmers to participate in the decision-making process in agriculture, food production and land governance, as women need to be acknowledged and supported as the primary producers of food in the region, able to both cultivate healthy food and climate change resilience through small-scale agro-ecological farming system. Originality/value This research contributes to gender debate in agriculture from a CSR perspective in developing countries and explains the rational for demands for social projects by host communities. It concludes that business has an obligation to help solve problems of public concern.
