FAO-Dimitra Clubs: Women Leaders

As part of a series of videos exploring the impact of FAO-Dimitra Clubs in rural communities, this video showcases the important role the Clubs play in helping women gain self-confidence and build their capacities to become leaders in their communities.

The set of four videos, entitled "Impact of FAO-Dimitra Clubs: Empowering Rural People" illustrates the impact of Dimitra Clubs, a successful gender-transformative approach developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

FAO-Dimitra Clubs are groups of rural women and men who decide to meet regularly to discuss the challenges they face in their daily lives, make decisions together and take collective action to solve community problems with their own means. Since 2006, 1500 FAO-Dimitra Clubs have been set up in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, the Niger and Senegal.

The series was produced by Esprit Libre Production and FAO-Dimitra.
