The overall objective of this project is to build the capacity of women's farming groups to advance local, national and regional sustainable development policies that are sensitive to climate change, by participating in policy development and monitoring, mobilising public support and demonstrating best practice. The aim is to create a movement of rural women as ambassadors for agro-ecology, to combat, limit and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
