Rural women have the drive, vision and ability to improve their lives and those of their communities – they just need equal access to resources and information.

This was one of the key messages from a panel of African women in our recent webinar to mark International Day of Rural Women.
<\/p>

In Africa, 80% of agricultural production comes from smallholder farmers who are mostly rural women. They don\u2019t have equal access to land or resources. Similarly, female-led businesses comprise up to 40% of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Africa but only 2%  of large corporations\u2019 procurement is from women-led companies. <\/p>

Overcoming these kinds of gender inequalities can have a powerful economic and social impact not only for rural women but for their families and communities, so it\u2019s crucial that women have the resources and agency to make positive decisions about their lives.<\/p>

This week, in an online discussion hosted by Self Help Africa, Esther Ainyo, regional programme manager for Self Help Africa in Uganda; Jane Maina, the managing director of Vert Ltd in Kenya; Veneless Chimpesa, a gender and nutrition advisor in Malawi; and Isatou Ceesay, who founded Women\u2019s Initiative Gambia, shared their experiences of being a rural woman or supporting rural women in Africa.

Here are five takeaways from their discussion\u2026<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Providing rural women with access to credit is a game-changer.<\/strong>
    <\/strong>
    <\/strong>\u201cIf we support women to own productive assets, especially land, it will change their lives,\u201d said Esther Ainyo. \u201cSupporting access to credit for women who don\u2019t own land or have permanent assets [that they can put down as collateral with more traditional forms of financial support] is important. So we link groups of rural women to credit institutions where they use village savings and loans associations to access the credit they need to improve their income-generating potential and build their businesses.<\/li><\/ol>

    \u201cI have seen tremendous changes. The women are very powerful. They only need to be tickled a bit to move on. They are always committed. We have seen a 61-year-old woman construct a house just because she was supported by Self Help Africa. We have seen elderly women get out of their comfort zones of begging to do things for themselves. We have seen young mothers getting empowered to speak for other mothers in the same situation. When you target the rural woman, you target the entire community. Whatever they do spills over.\u201d<\/p>

    1. When community leaders are involved in advocacy on gender equity, the chances of success are higher<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

      \u201cIt\u2019s very important to involve community leaders in the issues of gender,\u201d said Veneless Chimpesa. \u201cThis has shown an increase in the adoption of best practices at household level. If you\u2019re involving influential leaders, these are the people who others listen to and have better respect – whether they are men or women. They are able to influence positive change. Farmer field schools also offer an excellent opportunity to move away from traditional role models and household dynamics. They enhance women\u2019s empowerment, self confidence, and the reimagining of their own role in agricultural activities.\u201d<\/p>

      1. Working with the authorities is key to ensuring changes for rural women are embedded in national structures.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

        \u201cYou cannot work in isolation,\u201d said Jane Maina. \u201cIt\u2019s important to work with actors across the value chain. It\u2019s important the messaging we have is harmonised and consistent. We try to align our approaches to their [government] proposals and there is a lot of benefit in doing so because all the actors who seek partnerships with the farmers do so with the expectation of sustainability. If their approaches are different to the regulators and the government\u2019s, then it becomes difficult to make headway.\u201d

        Esther Ainyo added: \u201cWe have always used the local councils as our entry point in the advocacy work we do. We don\u2019t reinvent the wheel but work within established constitutions. We work with the lower councils from village to sub county and national levels. But the issue of land in Uganda generally is complicated. During advocacy and community dialogue meetings attended by local chiefs and area councillors, we discuss things with them and try to draw a picture – \u2018put yourselves in the shoes of the women who you are denying rights to land\u2019. It\u2019s a process and it will take time. There are a few [instances] where heads of households are beginning to soften. It\u2019s a process that\u2019s started and we hope to continue until change is realised.\u201d<\/p>

        1. Building rural women\u2019s knowledge builds their confidence and unlocks doors to change<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

          \u201cWorking with women helps build their confidence,\u201d said Isatou Ceesay. \u201cThey know they can make a change. It gives them a voice in their community and households. We know malnutrition among children and pregnant women is a problem, for example. We understand it\u2019s due to food they are eating and taboos about what can be eaten during pregnancy. So, we worked with an organisation to educate women about growing vegetables in their home gardens. Now their weight is improving and nutritional intake within the community is better. If we come together we can make a big change.\u201d<\/p>

          1. Involving men and boys in gender equity awareness is key to success.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>

            \u201cWe go that extra mile to invite both rural women and men to training sessions so they can share and agree and discuss and visualise where they want to be as a household and family in the near and far future,\u201d said Esther Ainyo. \u201cIt works. We\u2019ve seen it work\u201d<\/p>

            Veneless Chimpesa added: \u201cWe train community-based facilitators, including male and female lead farmers, to be gender champions in farmer field schools. We also use comic books to help facilitate conversations and raise awareness about gender-based violence. We use the comic book in farmer field school meetings or during meetings for farmers to ask them what they see in the pictures, how can we best promote best practice and joint decision making.\u201d<\/p>
