Working together to empower rural women in Niger

Since 2012, FAO has been working with the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) on a joint programme for Accelerating Progress towards the Economic Empowerment of Rural Women (RWEE).

RWEE, which is being implemented in seven countries, aims to improve rural women’s food and nutrition security, increase their incomes, enhance their decision-making power and encourage policy environments that are conducive to their economic empowerment. This video highlights RWEE work in Niger, where the four agencies are working together across the regions of Dosso and Maradi.
