The National Strategy for the Economic and Social Empowerment of Women and Girls in Rural Areas 2017-2020 (in French)

January 2017

This strategy covers the following five main pillars:

  • Economic empowerment of women and girls in rural areas through increasing their employability, facilitating their access to means of production and markets, and integrating them in the social economy and solidarity structures.
  • Social empowerment of women and girls in rural areas by ensuring decent working conditions, secure transportation and security for women working in the agricultural sector, and facilitating their affiliation to social security systems. Social empowerment also supports combatting girls’ early school drop-out and relapse and protecting their right to continue education.
  • Qualifying women and girls to participate in public life.
  • Improving the quality of life of women and girls in rural areas through enhancing their access to all kinds of services and improving the quality of the services.
  • Providing updated and accurate gender-disaggregated data and analysis.
