The paper is on cassava value chain mapping and gender role analysis in southeast Nigeria. The objective of the study is to map the cassava value chain and to analyze the gender roles. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 288 respondents which include cassava producers, processors and marketers. Focus group discussion (FGD) and personal interview were used to collect primary data. Data were analyzed using the functional analysis tool, qualitative analytical tool and tables. The major findings were that majority of the producers do not source for inputs and implements from recognized source agent (input suppliers). It also shows that majority of the processors lack time and labour saving devices, the study shows that the market structure was poor and therefore all the actors involved in cassava value chain in the production of garri lack interdependency and collaboration leading to a weak and less sustainable chain. However, with awareness, mutual trust of the actors and information feed -back system along the chain, this will ensure that the chain is strengthened.
