Aims
- The rural population joins forces at village level to tackle problems together and pave the way to ownership of land, to microcredits and to better education.
- Village communities gain in confidence and defend their interests vis-à-vis the local authorities and businesses.
- In the context of the climate crisis, agroecology ensures that smallholder families produce enough food to secure their livelihoods all year round and to increase their income.
- The inequality between women and men in decision-making and political participation is reduced and gender equality is promoted.
The Guinea-Bissau country program is co-financed by the SDC program contribution.
