Re: Social farming (also called care farming): an innovative approach for promoting women’s economic empowerment, decent rural employment and social inclusion. What works in developing countries?

Thanks for the invitation to this timely discussion of good practice and case studies on social farming.

Attached, please find a brief working paper on the financial inclusion of PWDs in relation to social farming. It is a background policy paper that raises some prerequisites to social farming, namely access to credit and financial services. As you know this is a cross-cutting issue in development debate and will probably be raised by different contributors. It is based on my work in Africa 2012-2013.

Kind regards and season’s greetings!

Ps: If you plan to have an expert meeting on the subject at some point, I would be interested in developing this further and making e-presentation.
