Advancing Resources for Rural Women Farmers

Download PDF

Women are the primary food producers globally. Within the continent of Africa, 57% of total female employment is within agriculture. The continent’s future of food security in the face of climate change will be largely centered on the resources afforded rural women farmers. However, gender inequality perpetuates biases in resources allocated to rural women farmers and their communities. ARUWE understands that the future of food security depends on a holistic, rightsbased approach to addressing gender inequality. Central to expanding the economic opportunities for rural women is access to financial services. In this article, Sylvia Nalubega (ARUWE Uganda) provides a case study analysis of ARUWE's work, demonstrating how rural women's access to finance is a necessary component in securing food on the continent. ARUWE Uganda champions rural women and supports their movement as they advocate for their rights to financial resources.
