This study evaluates the impact of road infrastructure on women’s empowerment and household nutrition in rural Nigeria. Using a Difference-in-Difference (DID) approach combined with Propensity Score Matching (PSM), the research analyzes data from the Value Chain Development Programme (VCDP). The findings indicate that improved road infrastructure significantly enhances market access, which in turn improves the dietary diversity of households and individual women. Specifically, the results show that households in areas with improved road connectivity had a higher dietary diversity score compared to the control group. Furthermore, the study highlights that while infrastructure improvements lead to better economic opportunities and empowerment scores for women, they also increase their total workload, suggesting a state of time poverty. The research concludes that for infrastructure projects to be fully effective in improving nutritional outcomes, they should be accompanied by nutrition-sensitive interventions and labor-saving technologies for women.
