Empowerment through collective action.
Collective action and enterprise are proven pathways for empowering rural women to achieve their economic goals. In fragile rural economies, single-owned enterprises struggle to stay afloat because the owners lack skills and capital and cannot take risks alone. This is especially true for women who lack access to inputs, training, credit and markets that they need to gain social and economic mobility. Africa Development Promise partners with agricultural cooperatives to put the power of the collective behind every woman and the family she supports. We offer capacity-building support for the cooperatives themselves, as well as vocational training for women to branch out into new enterprises that expand their livelihoods and future resilience.
“When women thrive, all of society benefits, and succeeding generations are given a better start in life.”
— Kofi Annan
