Objectives

  • Enhanced sustainable crop production using climate smart, best management practices in agriculture, and increased value chain access and integration by women and men farmers in the targeted countries.
  • Enhanced representation and influence of women in leadership positions and decision-making bodies in farmers’ cooperatives within targeted communities.
  • Increased integration of gender sensitive 4R principles in relevant standards and policies globally and nationally in Ethiopia, Ghana and Senegal.
