Sustainable Production
Women play a key role in sustainable production, especially in agriculture, and their contributions are often overlooked. They have unique knowledge and skills that can help adapt to climate change and improve food security. Women play a key role in sustainable production as follows;
- 1. Agriculture-Women are often the primary agricultural producers in rural areas. They have a better understanding of their community's nutritional and cultural needs.
- 2. Natural resource management-Women are involved in the management, conservation, and exploitation of natural resources. They often do unpaid work, such as collecting firewood and fetching water.
- 3. Climate change-Women are disproportionately affected by resource scarcity and natural disasters. They have unique knowledge and skills that can help adapt to climate change.
SAPNET empowers women in sustainable production by;
- 1. Encouraging and supporting gender-inclusive policies. Policies that acknowledge the challenges women face can help build climate resilience.
- 2. Increasing access to resources-Women need access to the same resources as men, including land, education, and markets to succeed in life.
- 3. Access to financing- for women to be empowered, they need access to financing, training, and agricultural extension services.
- 4. Decision-making-We work to support women so that they can be fully involved in decision-making to improve the lives of their families and communities.
