| dc.description | In Azerbaijan, rural women’s empowerment through agriculture has great potential, considering that 32 percent of female entrepreneurs are engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishing, compared with 24.4 percent of male entrepreneurs. In addition, 77 percent of women in Azerbaijan reside in rural areas. These statistics show how women play a significant role in agriculture. However, they face a number of challenges, such as gender pay gap, informality of jobs, a triple work burden (housework, working on household production and wage work), and poor access to social services, among others. In this context, few efforts, from either public or private providers, have been made in the country to comprehensively assess the needs of women farmers, and to approach them as a particular target group for training and advisory services. Against this background, the project was designed to cover both grassroot-level problems by improving rural women’s access to agricultural information, knowledge, credit, means for processing, and policy-level matters by strengthening gender-responsive rural advisory services and creating a gender-responsive policy environment. | |
