ECONIS Select – Frauen als Basis der ländlichen Entwicklung

07/2010

Selected for the Global Economic Symposium 2010

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, rural women are responsible for half of the world’s food production. They produce between 60 and 80 percent of the food in most developing countries and are also the main producers of the world’s staple crops (rice, wheat and maize) which provide up to 90 percent of the rural poor’s food intake. As such, women are fundamental for guaranteeing food security and household maintenance not only for their own family, but also for the community in general.

• How to empower women financially through improved access to credit and finance?
  Women’s efforts to initiate or expand incomegenerating activities are constrained by their limited access to credit and other financial services such as savings and deposits. In spite of recent efforts to increase rural women’s participation in financial markets (e.g., via microcredit programs) women still are disproportionately credit constrained and unbanked. Government policies and creative business initiatives are needed to provide sustainable solutions that can remove these constraints.
• How to eliminate illiteracy among women and improve the quality of their education?
