Description:

The Sustainable Development, Human Rights, Inclusion and Equality (SHINE) project aims to enhance the empowerment of women and girls through implementation of sustainable agriculture and agribusiness related activities in targeted districts in Ethiopia and Ghana. SHINE will empower women and girls to increase yields in agricultural production, improve their income through access to agri-business opportunities, and increase recognition of their contribution to their household and local economies. Building on lessons learned under the GAC- funded Resilient Sustainable Livelihoods Transformation (RESULT) and Market-Led Improved Livelihoods in Eastern Amhara Region (MILEAR) projects, SHINE will scale up empowerment of women and girls through increased vegetable production using small scale irrigation and increase incomes through agri-business incubation. It will economically empower 8000 households or approximately 24,000 vulnerable, small holder farmers (70% women and girls).
