Jointly conducted by two Canadian organizations, Nature Canada and "Place aux Agricultrices Nourricières du Monde, this project aims to improve the livelihoods and active participation of 450 women farmers and their families in four rural communities. This project is designed to increase organic farm yield; support the development of marketing strategies for farm products; and enhance knowledge and practices regarding primary health, reproductive health and prevention of sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS. Moreover, to improve women's role in their community and democratic governance, awareness activities for women, men and local government authorities are implemented. This is one of two parts of a project valued at $384,737. The first part has been completed.
