Dear Moderators,

Thank you for this opportunity to contribute to this crucial topic of “Community engagement for inclusive rural transformation and gender equality”.

On behalf of the International Agri-Food Network (IAFN), I am pleased to submit our experience in this area. Please find attached an overview of our best practice, “The FAO-IAFN SME Accelerator Mentorship Programme for Women in sub-Saharan Africa”.

The private sector remains committed to contributing to rural transformation to achieve a world free from hunger and poverty.

With best regards,

Robynne
