The project, implemented by UNDP and supported by BMZ and GIZ, empowers women like Fatima to become agents of change within their communities. It tackles the crisis on multiple fronts:

• Seed Distribution: Providing 12,000 kilograms of certified sorghum seeds enables each participant to cultivate five feddans of land, directly boosting local food production. This initiative is expected to result in a significant increase in sorghum harvests throughout the region, creating a more reliable food source for families and communities.
• Capacity Building: training sessions equip the women with vital knowledge on good agronomy practices, ensuring sustainable and efficient farming techniques for future harvests.
• Financial Management and Extension Support: Recognizing the importance of financial literacy, the program provides training to help women manage resources effectively. This training empowers them to invest in their farms and businesses, creating a ripple effect throughout the local economy. Additionally, dedicated extension agents offer continuous technical support, fostering long-term success and ensuring the project's impact extends well beyond its initial timeframe.

This holistic approach transcends traditional aid, empowering women to become architects of their own destinies. It unlocks their potential as leaders and innovators, setting Sudan on a course toward a future where food security and economic prosperity are within reach for all.

The programme is implemented by UNDP through its Enhancing Food Security and Livelihoods flagship portfolio and funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
