The project fosters entrepreneurship, enhances policy frameworks, and provides direct support in pilot provinces – Kahramanmaraş, Ordu, and Burdur – chosen for their socioeconomic challenges and potential.Key activities include establishing Gender Units within provincial directorates to provide gender-sensitive support and training. These units have empowered 148 rural women through targeted initiatives like entrepreneurial skills development and value chain trainings. Success stories from women in these provinces illustrate the transformative impact of the LNOB project. Through collaboration, training, and policy reform, the LNOB project not only uplifts rural women but also aligns with the 2030 Agenda by fostering sustainable development, enhancing institutional capacities, and promoting inclusive economic opportunities in agriculture and forestry.
