The 2024 Africa Day Celebration
will focus on women of Africa and the Diaspora and agricultural
development. A cornerstone of such a theme is education,
specifically, educating women so that they have the
knowledge and tools necessary, and educating men to work as
allies and equal partners.
Compared with men, women have limited access
to critical agricultural resources such as land, water,
seeds, fertilisers as well as to markets, credit and
financial services. This situation is exacerbated by
inequitable laws and customs that often favour male
inheritance and impede women from land ownership. |
