Rural Women Acquire New Skills to Improve Their Lives

In 2012, more than 3,000 women-headed households mobilised into 477 self-help groups and Community Seed Farms to improve agricultural production through high-yield vegetable seeds, agro-technology training and, most importantly, strengthening the participation of rural women in local development. This is how WFP ensures that vulnerable women-headed households across the country are prioritised for learning new skills that will enrich their lives through sustainable assistance.
