    This factsheet gives a summary of the impact of FFF support in Nicaragua. Leadership and capacity-building of Mayangna and Mestiza women strengthened, as both producers and craftswomen, due to development of gender strategy supported by the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) at community level, and in indigenous territories. • 135 female leaders from the Sumu Mayangna Nation, empowered by FFF, contributed to strengthening women’s organizations by creating the new organization “Government of Mayangna Women”. • Better incomes reported after 30 Mayangna women improved products made from tuno trees in territories of Sauni Bas, Sikilta and Sauni As. • Indigenous and Mestiza women led 61 percent of 18 first-tier Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs) supported by FFF. Women integrated into all relevant producer organizations. • 11 organizations led by indigenous and Mestiza women strengthened and products improved, leading to a 35 percent rise in demand for those products at local level.

    This facsheets gives some highlights of the impact of FFF support in Nepal, as well as some major achievements by the numbers, and some lessons learnt. Summary of the impact: • Policy outcomes were influenced by Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs) with important implications for improving livelihoods and forest sustainability through direct dialogues supported by Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) between FFPOs and the government. • FFPO enterprises improved capacity to manage finances and demonstrate their economic viability, leading to increased investment and access to finance — particularly for women. • Greater economic empowerment among women entrepreneurs, demonstrating new skills and confidence in their abilities as business managers. This was evident when negotiating credit access from financial institutions, despite facing traditional challenges such as lack of ownership of assets for collateral purposes. • Entrepreneurship and investment catalyzed for women’s enterprises through alliance of FFPOs. FNCSI’s Central Women Entrepreneurs Committee (CWEC) took central role in successfully lobbying for establishment of the Women Entrepreneurs Development Fund within the Ministry of Industry.
