Descripción
This factsheet gives a summary of the impact of FFF support in Nicaragua.
Leadership and capacity-building of Mayangna and Mestiza women strengthened, as both producers and craftswomen,
due to development of gender strategy supported by the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) at community
level, and in indigenous territories.
• 135 female leaders from the Sumu Mayangna Nation, empowered by FFF, contributed to strengthening women’s
organizations by creating the new organization “Government of Mayangna Women”.
• Better incomes reported after 30 Mayangna women improved products made from tuno trees in territories of
Sauni Bas, Sikilta and Sauni As.
• Indigenous and Mestiza women led 61 percent of 18 first-tier Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs)
supported by FFF. Women integrated into all relevant producer organizations.
• 11 organizations led by indigenous and Mestiza women strengthened and products improved, leading to a 35
percent rise in demand for those products at local level.
