Fahamu is supporting the 'We are the Solution' campaign to ensure that rural women’s associations have the skills to improve, promote and share their traditional agricultural knowledge, ensuring that this rich knowledge is not lost and is indeed promoted as an alternative to the Green Revolution methods.
The three-year pan-African campaign, coordinated by ROPPA (Network of Farmers’ and Agricultural Producers’ Organisations of West Africa), launches in February 2011.
Its objectives are to:
- Strengthen the work of 12 rural women’s associations and their leaders through organisational and individual capacity building activities
- Facilitate the participation of 75 rural women participants in media and advocacy activities so that they can engage in decision-making processes in local, regional and global campaigns
- Mobilise and sustain an Africa-wide action oriented network of 1,000 stakeholders for information sharing, partnership and advocacy.
You too can support 'We are the Solution': By making a donation through our page, you'll help ensure that West Africa’s women farmers can campaign for an African agro-ecological solution to the food crisis.
