Value4Her Program (Active Structuring Phase)

To professionalize women-led agri-food enterprises and break down international trade barriers. The initiative targets the fact that while women drive over 80% of the agro-silvo-pastoral sector, they lead only 21% of formal agribusinesses. It works to facilitate massive private-sector investments and give women-led SMEs direct access to regional and global export corridors.
