Description:
The Women in Angolan Farming activity is a public-private partnership that is empowering rural communities to improve their livelihoods and increase their food security through an approach that focuses on empowering women as leaders in the agricultural sector. The activity is breaking down economic, social, and cultural barriers faced by Angolan women that prevent them from realizing their full potential to contribute to their communitys prosperity. In addition to low agricultural productivity that keeps communities trapped in poverty, challenges faced by rural women in Angola include a) lack of knowledge on rights and procedures to secure land tenure; b) unequal access to basic education and literacy; c) barriers to obtaining national identity documents required to access employment, education, loans, and property; and d) cultural norms and lack of knowledge concerning womens role in society.
