Since 2012, Agri-ProFocus has been implementing so-called gender in value chain coaching tracks through its Agri-Hub networks. The coaching tracks aim at increasing the capacities of organisations for gender-inclusive value chain development. But also the coaches need some coaching! A training was organised in Arusha to address the skills required for successful coaching.
The book ‘Challenging chains to change: gender equity in agricultural value chain development’ (Agri-ProFocus, KIT and IIRR, 2012) has been revised, updated and translated in 2013. English version: Challenging chains to change (2013) French version: Faire changer les chaînes (2013) Spanish version: Mujeres al frente (2014)
From the 4th to 5th of December 2012, around 300 farmers and bankers from Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) attended the Agri-Finance Fair held in Rusizi District of the Western Province of Rwanda.
