Introduction: Community radio has been widely promoted as an accessible and inclusive medium for disseminating climate information. However, no systematic review has comprehensively synthesised evidence on gendered patterns of access, barriers, and enabling strategies across Africa. This review addresses that gap by examining how gender influences access to climate information through community radio and identifying factors that facilitate or constrain equitable access.
