Strengthening Rural Women’s Economic and Social Independence

Support women in developing income-generating activities suited to their abilities, circumstances and locally available resources so they can diversify their livelihoods, improve their economic and social circumstances, and have a greater say in decisions about their work, family life and communities.

Adding Value to Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and Local Products

Build on local plant resources and expertise by developing skills in cultivation, harvesting, drying and processing, improving distillation techniques for producing essential oils and floral waters, and supporting plant nurseries and seedling production, so women can create higher-value products and find more opportunities to sell them.

Advancing Sustainable Agriculture and Adapting to Climate Change

Help women learn about farming practices suited to local conditions and test approaches such as rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, hydroponics and seedling production to preserve soil fertility, improve production, use water more efficiently and better cope with drought and climate change.

Supporting the Digital Transition and Expanding Market Access

Strengthen women’s digital marketing skills by helping them use social media to promote their products and connect with customers, and by introducing them to AI tools for developing ideas, creating content and improving product presentation, so they can choose the tools that suit their projects and reach new markets.
