The aim of the program is to teach innovative farming techniques through collaborative learning and workshops. The program will allow women farmers in Taraba state, Nigeria to hone in on their entrepreneurial skills, increase farming productivity, and household income.

Mary Olushoga (Founder of the AWP Network) stated, “at the AWP Network, we remain committed to supporting the growth, development, and entrepreneurial efforts of African women. We recognize that women farmers need encouragement and business support. More women also need access to financing to purchase agricultural equipments. We are certainly open to working with various financial institutions to make this happen. Indeed, there’s more work to be done.“
