\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Since the acknowledgement of gender mainstreaming as an indispensable strategy for achieving gender equality at the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action, governments around the globe have made substantial efforts in developing gender specific policies and guidelines as well as incorporating gender considerations in other national policies and strategies. With climate change impacts threatening rural livelihoods, and more so food security, the need to integrate gender considerations in policies and programs related to climate change becomes even more apparent. The objectives of this research were (i) to assess the degree of gender integration in agri"=food and climate change policies of East Africa and (ii) to identify gaps and opportunities for greater and more meaningful gender inclusion in the region´s policies. Seventy"=three policy documents from Uganda, Tanzania and the East African Community were reviewed for gender inclusiveness. The documents were selected from four governance levels --- regional, national, sub"=national and local. The policy desk"=review was complemented by 55 key"=informant interviews, which were conducted at national, district and local levels. We find that fewer policies and strategies have mainstreamed gender, providing a clearer picture of the specific gender challenges that need to be addressed. In the majority of documents, gender is often mentioned in general terms without clear specific courses of action. Where explicit mention of women are made, their disadvantaged position in the sector is overly emphasised while the differentiated needs, constraints and opportunities of men and other social groupings are overlooked. There is also a mismatch between the identified gender constraints that the documents present and the suggested policy solutions. Furthermore, the budgets allocated for gender activities are overly small with districts allocating \mbox{0.1\,\%} of the total annual budget while over \mbox{80\,\%} of the sub"=counties allocations ranged between \mbox{0.5\,\%} and \mbox{1.5\,\%}. Governments need to develop clear guidelines, budgets and implementation strategies that are aligned with the policies and other development programs so that the gender considerations and activities can be translated into tangible actions. }
