The project was implemented using integrated approaches and community-based platforms – particularly Farmer Field Schools (FFS), Dimitra Clubs and local radio stations – which facilitate the empowerment and capacity building of rural women in vulnerable situations, as well as their access to and control of productive resources. These platforms were used to facilitate diversified food production, storage, trade and consumption, including through community food and nutrition education sessions and knowledge sharing, community cooking demonstrations, local food processing training, the provision of diverse productive assets and labour-saving technologies, as well as food sales to school canteens. Tailored support to women’s groups, including in terms of income, knowledge and practices, was a strong focus throughout. This good practice focuses on the project Accelerating Progress towards the Economic Empowerment of Rural Women aimed at securing rural women’s livelihoods and rights in the Dosso and Maradi regions of the Niger.

The RWEE Project is based on specific benificiaries needs in Tunisia, which is the first country selected in the NENA region. This project is extended to five years (2022–2027) and takes into consideration the specific context of Tunisia across two governorates: Kairouan and Jendouba. The RWEE project reaches 3 000 beneficiaries and includes 14 400 household members. The programme will target 2 220 women and 780 men as direct beneficiaries. This programme is considered an example of four UN System agencies (FAO, PAM, IFAD, UN WOMEN) successfully coordinating for more added value in the implementation of project activities.
