#VALUE4HER is a 22-month project aimed at increasing VALUE for women agripreneurs through market access, improving knowledge, skills, networks and advocacy for addressing some of the key barriers for women’s empowerment in agriculture and agribusiness. Women are actors in numerous agricultural value chains, offering huge potential for their participation in markets, but few are involved in the business end of the chain.
AWIEF in partnership with the Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA-EU) is launching a continental initiative called #VALUE4HER: Strengthening Women’s Agribusiness Enterprises in Africa. CTA is a joint institution of the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the European Union. CTA operates under the framework of the Cotonou Agreement and is funded by the European Union.
Attend: Stakeholder Workshop on July 4 and the project launch on July 5, 2018 at the Nairobi Sarova Panafric Hotel.
This is a good initiative for the African woman.We should appreciate the cooperative movements attempts to empower women to be of economic benefit to themselves, as when a woman is empowered, a society is changed. As a Cooperative professional, how can I get engaged with the programme?
