Goal action plan
CARE's Pathways Program builds on the Village Savings and Loans Associations Model and other existing collectives to support Farmer Field and Business Schools (FFBS) with women farmers. The project focuses on improving the productivity and profitability of poor smallholder women farmers by helping empower women to fully engage in agricultural systems. FFBS provides training that follows the seasonal cycle, so that farmers can apply what they are learning (about sustainable agriculture or market engagement) in real time and includes specific training modules on gender to create an understanding of workload burden, access to and ownership of resources, gender-based violence, household decision making and power analysis. Some sessions engage men and boys to support women's empowerment and changes in gender relations; and similar sessions also involve whole communities.
