Commitment description

Enabling women's access to inclusive markets. Applying the best of our food and water systems and women's economic justice approaches, we will aim to unlock greater production, expansion of profits and social and environmental returns for women from small-scale agriculture. We will increase food, water and nutrition security and climate resilience through the promotion of women producers' ability to participate and take leadership in collectives and service delivery to voice their needs, access input markets, negotiate better outcomes, make decisions in market systems, and play non-traditional roles such as aggregators, innovators and WASH service providers and business leaders - thereby transforming markets to become more inclusive, sustainable and just. We will also ensure our market systems work builds resilience so that communities can better absorb and adapt to economic, social, political or environmental shocks.
