This project aims to strengthen the economic empowerment of women members and users of women-led and mixed cooperatives. It focuses on climate-resilient value chains in three regions of Morocco. The project seeks to address challenges related to rural poverty and inequalities in Morocco. It aims to facilitate access to agricultural land and combat the multidimensional marginalization experienced by women in rural communities. The proposed initiative targets members of women-led cooperatives in rural areas of 3 Moroccan regions: Marrakech-Safi, Draa-Tafilalet, and Guelmim-Oued Noun. Project activities include: (1) raising awareness among various community sectors about the main barriers women face in accessing paid productive activities and promoting positive masculinities; (2) improving cooperatives' access to financial products and services offered by financial institutions; and (3) adapting financial products and services to value chains and environmental challenges.
