Product type Book (stand-alone)

Synopsis (short abstract) This publication is an outcome of an FAO Technical Cooperation Project in collaboration with the Cooperative Promotion Department (CPD) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Thailand. The project assisted in strengthening the training capacity of the CPD through training of trainers and field demonstration activities in five regions of Thailand. While cooperative women’s groups have been set up as part of the government’s efforts to help increase the incomes of women, the focus to date has mainly been on providing support services. This training kit instead focuses on capacity building to help women’s cooperative groups manage, promote, expand and diversify their businesses and move from dependence to self-reliance. The publication includes a comprehensive set of training modules on business concepts, gender issues, costing and pricing, bookkeeping and financial statements, marketing, risk management, business planning, leadership and team work, networking, and monitor ing and evaluation. Case studies are also provided.

    Improving the availability, affordability, and convenience of nutritious foods is at the heart of FAO's efforts to transform agrifood systems in support of human and planetary health. As main food suppliers, agrifood small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in this endeavor. This training package spans across range of topics - from healthy diets to food safety management, from foods processing and its impact on nutrition, to marketing and agribusiness management - to support agrifood SMEs to integrate a “nutrition perspective” in their business models and practices. The present facilitator guide is the entry point to the training package and includes a set of handouts, and links to two questionnaires to tailor the program to participants needs, and ten PowerPoint presentations to be used in training sessions for agrifood SMEs.

    About three quarters of the world’s poor live in rural areas. Among those, women constitute a particularly vulnerable, yet crucially important group for social and economic development. Investing in rural women is thus not only a moral imperative; it can also be a promising strategy to effectively fight poverty and hunger.
