Executive
summary
Duhozanye 
is a  Non- Governmental  Organization  legally operating in
Rwanda granted legal personality No 131/11 of 2003 whose mission is“ to ensure
the socio-economic rehabilitation of widows and orphans of the genocide in
order to integrate them into everyday life so that they can particularly striving

Back
ground
In
partnership with ActionAid Duhozanye is implementing  FLOW2 project ”
Funding Leadership and Opportunities for Women Promoting opportunities for
women ” aims to increase the income of 6,000 women and their ability to control
their income, through practicing Climate Resilient Sustainable Agriculture,
better access to markets and reducing, recognising and redistributing their
Unpaid Care Work. The project focuses on the following four interlinked areas;
  • The
    empowerment of women at household and community level, raising awareness
    of and claiming their rights;
  • The
    recognition, redistribution and reduction of Unpaid Care Work which keeps
    women in the private sphere;
  • The
    increase of women’s access to productive resources, markets and knowledge
    of sustainable practices, which will ensure women continue to have a
    livelihood in the longer term, and;
  • Effecting
    policy and institutional change to provide an enabling environment that
    supports women’s economic empowerment.
Many
poor communities depend on women to grow most of the food they eat, yet women
farmers struggle with a severe lack of extension services, credit, inputs, and
productive assets .In many countries agriculture provides the livelihood for
80% to 90% of the population. Women make up the majority of smallholder farmers
in most developing countries. The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) estimate that at least 80% of rural smallholder farmers worldwide
are women. Smallholder farmers produce as much as 90% of the food grown in
Africa and 50% of the world’s food but many of them go hungry themselves and
see their families go hungry. Empowering women smallholder farmers to produce
more food for local consumption and local markets is the best path to economic
recovery and resilience from disasters and crisis. It is also the foundation
for global food security.
It
is with this regard that Duhozanye in partnership with ActionAid/FLOW2 project
would like to develop training manual on market oriented agricultural
processing and preservation for rural women
. The manual should provide the
training facilitators with clear and customized step-by-step guidelines for the
various stakeholders
For
this, Duhozanye invites proposals from the reputed and experienced experts
towards development of the training manual.
