The Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) is a partnership aimed at strengthening forest and farm producer organisations. A cross-cutting goal of FFF is to support the empowerment and entrepreneurship of women forest and farm producers.

Women’s organisations around the world are trailblazing transformative approaches to economic empowerment and livelihood improvement. One such organisation is the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) headquartered in Ahmedabad, India.

As part of IIED’s work with FFF, I travelled to SEWA to learn about their groundbreaking work and to draw together elements that could inspire other women-led organisations.
