Synopsis (short abstract) The number of Dimitra Clubs in sub-Saharan Africa has reached 3 000, marking a milestone. This gender-transformative approach aimed at rural people’s empowerment through community mobilization has proved increasingly successful. Through this flexible approach developed by FAO, the rural communities themselves, through their decisions and actions, determine the changes that need to be made to their environment, and how to improve their livelihoods. The Dimitra Clubs’ areas of impact are many and varied. Several themes shape this special edition of the newsletter: community mobilization, gender and women’s leadership, food security and nutrition, social cohesion and peace, adaptation to climate change, rural organizations, information and knowledge, and last but not least, the future: youth.

    This edition opens with a critical issue: the Ebola crisis and how Dimi - tra clubs are helping contain the threat of the epidemic in Senegal. The Dimitra approach not only allows to inform and raise awareness in rural communities, but above all ensures a space for communication, where everyone can express their concerns and strengthen their capacities to respond to crises or harness themselves against threats, like a possible out -break of Ebola. The Dimitra approach proved also effective this way in Niger, for example, where 240 new clubs were put in place as part of the struggle against the effects of climate change
