The Elevating the Voices of Women in Agriculture (EVWA) Campaign aims to raise awareness of the lived realities of women farmers in Africa. With the EVWA Changemakers Campaign and the EVWA Council, the BKMC is on a mission to highlight and galvanize action for the empowerment of women farmers in Africa. Women account for nearly half of the world’s smallholder farmers. In Africa, they produce 70% of the continent’s food. Yet, they are the most vulnerable members of the farming community, facing obstacles in accessing land, finances, education, and more, because of gender inequalities and our changing climate.
Benefits
- With the title of EVWA Champion comes a 5.000 USD seed-funding award to scale the impact of this project.
- The EVWA Champion will also receive the unique opportunity to be part of an exciting multimedia documentary production and social media campaign.
Eligibility
- Be between 18 and 30 years old?
- A national of an African country?
- Have upper-intermediate English language skills?
- Leading a project that directly works with and empowers women farmers in Africa?
