Access to technical advisory or training services in agriculture and non-agricultural services

To address the fact that agriculture does not represent the only pathway out of poverty for many rural women and their families, CARE will address gender- and age-related barriers to livelihood opportunities. We will promote livelihood diversification including integrated development policies and investments; climate change resilience and disaster risk reduction approaches; youth employment through vocational education, entrepreneurship, emerging technological and innovation opportunities. We will be increasing access to finance, tools and training for women to improve their economic options and potential for income and we will leverage market actors to respond to the needs of vulnerable populations in accessing nutritious food, water and production inputs during crises.
