Studies have indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on businesses, and that female-led businesses have been more negatively affected than male-led ones because of their fragility, unpredictability, and lack of state support. One such group that has suffered because of the official closing of borders during the pandemic is informal cross-border traders. Using the empowerment framework and semi-structured interview guide, this study highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the livelihoods of Ghanaian women in informal cross-border trading. The findings show that the pandemic affected participants' livelihoods as well as their sociocultural and psychological lives creating a sense of dis-empowerment. Women in informal cross-border trading had however, used a variety of strategies to get themselves through those difficult times, including switching suppliers, using illegal routes to get their products into the country, and utilizing various social networks created to facilitate their businesses. The authors recommend that women in informal cross-border trading are provided with financial and institutional support as well as bettering their access to communication tools to streamline their commercial dealings.

研究表明，新冠肺炎疫情对企业产生了影响，女性领导的企业由于脆弱性、不可预测性和缺乏国家支持，受到的负面影响比男性领导的企业更大。由于疫情期间官方关闭边境而遭受损失的一个群体是非正规跨境贸易商。本研究利用赋权框架和半结构化访谈指南，重点介绍了2019冠状病毒病大流行如何影响加纳妇女在非正规跨境贸易中的生计。调查结果表明，大流行影响了参与者的生计以及他们的社会文化和心理生活，造成了一种被剥夺权力的感觉。然而，从事非正规跨境贸易的妇女使用了各种策略来度过这些困难时期，包括更换供应商，使用非法途径将产品运往该国，以及利用为促进其业务而创建的各种社交网络。作者建议向从事非正式跨境贸易的妇女提供财政和制度支持，并改善她们获得通讯工具的机会，以简化其商业交易。[FROM AUTHOR] South African Geographical Journal版权归Routledge所有，未经版权所有者明确书面许可，其内容不得复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。但是，用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参阅原始出版版本的材料的完整。(版权适用于所有人。)

ABSTRACT Rangelands in arid and semi-arid regions serve as grazing land for domesticated animals and therefore offer livelihood opportunities for most pastoral communities. Thus, the exposure of most rangelands in arid and semi-arid regions to threats that are associated with natural, social, economic, and political processes affects their capacity to provide socioeconomic and environmental support to the immediate and global communities. In spite of the effects of rangeland transformations on both the natural and human environment, the assessment of threats affecting rangeland productivity has often been approached from a conventional scientific perspective. Most existing literature is focused on the assessment of threats to the biophysical environment. As such the social dimension of rangeland threats is not well understood. This research employed participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and PGIS techniques to assess rangeland threats and management actions from a local perspective. The result revealed that local actors prioritize threats to their social and economic needs over threats to the biophysical environment and their preference is informed by the frequency and magnitude of the threats. The outcome of the research demonstrates the need to promote rangeland governance through interdisciplinary and inclusive participation in research and development.
