Nutrition International.

Overview

A situational analysis in Sénégal showed how women from the regions of Kolda and Kédougo experienced unequal gender relations with their male peers, as well as little access to finances and resources. Nutrition International’s Integrated Nutrition Project in Kolda and Kédougou (PINKK) gender strategy combined women’s empowerment, raising the profile of women’s agricultural contribution, and promoting gender equality by giving women more opportunities through financial education trainings, credit groups, village-based savings and credit associations, and leadership clubs for girls.
