Leadership and governance area


Promoting women’s empowerment through leadership and governance training is a very effective way to achieve development in all its aspects. Women produce between 60% and 80% of the food in developing countries and half of the world’s food (FAO). However, in sub-Saharan Africa, for example, women have very little control over resources for production such as capital and land (85% of landowners are men). Women often spend most of their time in informal and undervalued activities, and their access to key institutions such as courts or markets is very limited.
