ARUWE aims at improving women’s access, control, ownership and decision making over productive resources. We do this through three main strategies.

Enhancing women’s household food and nutrition

Here we support women’s agency in food and nutrition by promoting women-led agroecology practices (local food, ecosystem, biodiversity, animals, climate resilience).

Enhancing women’s market competitiveness and access to resources

We support women-led businesses/cooperatives/groups/VSLAs to access tools, business skills, financial resources and mentorship. We also engage in research to enhance knowledge of women’s socio-economic strengthening.

Increasing women’s leadership and advocacy capacity over economic resources.

We build women’s leadership capacity to advocate and participate in productive resource governance including financial inclusion, land rights governance, natural resources management and community leadership
