Also available in:
Inducing institutional and organizational change to foster greater economic opportunities forsmall holders is often best achieved by enabling stakeholders to directly confront and comparealternative models of development operating within socio-economic and political environmentsdifferent from their own. It is this basic premise that motivated FAO to initiate an Exposure andExchange Programme (EEP): to enable selected women farmers’ organizations from West andCentral Africa and India’s SEWA (Self -Employed Women Association) to exchange and learn from their experiences. The week-long EEP, held in November 2010 and hosted by SEWA in Ahmedabad, state of Gujarat, India, provided an arena to showcase the SEWA development model in action and for African and Indian women leaders to hold group discussions and exchanges on the roles of small holders in markets. The discussions and exchanges enabled the FAO facilitating team to identify and formulate a number of important insights and lessonsabou t capacity building. This report critically evaluates the SEWA model and draws conclusionsrelevant to African women producers organizations to better meet the challenges of raising Africa’s agricultural potential, improve incomes for small farmers, and ensure greater food security. -
