The five year programme is focusing on women’s socio-economic empowerment. The program aims to strengthen the capacities of local cooperatives, community based organizations and NGOs, supporting them to organize men and women in rural communities to improve their incomes and their living conditions.
The programme has three main parts: strengthening civil society organizations, cooperative business development and gender equality promotion with women rights.
