Gender
(FAO, 2020)

This publication aims to present the goal of the TESFA project which was to bring measurable positive change to the economic status and sexual and reproductive health of ever-married girls. In this context, the Social Analysis and Action (SAA) methodology contributes significantly to an increase in the use of family planning services; a decrease in early child marriages; a more equal division of labour; improvements in communication and decision-making skills; improvements in women’s ability to save and own assets; and improved relationships among husbands, wives, daughters-in-law, friends, and mothers-in-law. 9 pp.

This publication outlines the key entry points for applying the methodology: agribusinesses that are currently working with small-scale farmers as outgrowers or planning to work with them. Although gender issues are not the primary focus of its investments, AgDevCo believes that gender equality and women’s empowerment are significant factors in the success of its investments. To ensure the project continues after support grants have ended, the agribusiness must have a clear business case and have the funds to continue the project using its own funding. 9 pp.
