    On the occasion of International Rural Women’s Day, a new initiative for rural women empowerment – AL WARFA – was launched by the SRAD Programme through a joint effort between the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MoEWA), REEF and FAO Saudi Arabia. The objective of the initiative is to accelerate rural women’s economic empowerment and strengthen their livelihood in the agrifood system by providing access to intensive capacity building and encouraging their participation and involvement in the local economy. Some training courses were designed explicitly and in depth based on the current concepts and best practices in various areas of women’s participation in rural agricultural development. The training focuses on four thematic areas including agricultural cooperatives, value addition, agribusiness management, and agricultural marketing. Principles of experiential and adult learning approaches were applied to ensure an interactive learning environment including interactive lectures, brainstorming, group discussion, video/documentary, role plays and individual reading. Forty-six women entrepreneurs with diverse educational backgrounds were the pioneer group partaking in these imperative rural women training courses in Saudi Arabia.

It analysed the work and assessed the overall contribution by the programme in Afghanistan by emphasizing the intended and unintended results.
