FAO- Climate Resilience Livelihood Opportunities for Women Economic Empowerement

Support to FAO - Climate Resilience Livelihood opportunities for WEE

Projektet "Climate Resilience Livelihood Opportunities for Women Economic Empowerment" (CRWEE) syftar till att främja landsbygdskvinnors ekonomiska egenmakt som ett medel för att minska ojämlikhet mellan könen, kvinnlig underordning, diskriminering och fattigdom i regionerna West Nile och Karamoja i Uganda. Insatsen avser avlägsna hinder för produktivitet och ekonomiska egenmakt för kvinnor i det ovannämnda regioner. Projektet förväntas bidra särskilt till ökad tillgång till och ägarskap av produktiva tillgångar (mark, boskap, finansiella tjänster, jordbruksprodukter mm), kapacitetsuppbyggnad och tillgång till information rörande jordbruksproduktion , marknadsföring samt utveckling av valda värdekedjor. Projektet kommer att erbjuda kapacitetsutveckling för kvinnogrupper för att öka deras deltagande som beslutfattare i den produktiva sektorn. Vidare avser insatsen integrera hantering av miljöförvaltning och inkludera en ansats för att bekämpa klimatförändringens effekter (anpassning och förändring) som syftar till förbättrad uthållig försörjning, produktion, affärsmöjligheter och tillväxt.
