Improve Her Productivity Project

In Africa, women are disproportionately employed in the informal economy in small-scale food processing, subsistence farming and petty food trading, suffering poor working conditions and living standards as a result. Women’s lack of power will in these sectors – because they are functioning primarily in gendered roles, and still grappling with barriers like unfair land laws and poor access in the food supply chain – puts them at a considerable disadvantage.

Improve Her Productivity is a skill development project for girls and women in Semi-rural and Urban Nigeria. Girls and women are trained in soft and hard skills that can improve their earnings and economic condition.
