Issue
While there is a need for greater investment in agriculture, there is currently no recognition of the productive role of women farmers.
How we are helping
Supporting Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC) to enhance women’s capacity for advocacy, contributing to an increase in the livelihood opportunities available, particularly through emerging opportunities in the green economy.
About the project
The project will provide an opportunity for women farmers to develop their advocacy skills to shape policy debates around the green economy in the Caribbean, resulting in a strong model for replication in other contexts. The project also responds to the 2013 Commonwealth Theme ‘Opportunity through Enterprise’.
Project Partners
