It is a well known fact that women farmers in Nigeria faces challenges in limited access to extension services, digital tools, and market information. In northern part of Nigeria, traditions may restrict what crops women can grow, women in this region are underrepresented in cooperatives, farmers' associations, and policy platforms which limits their access to collective bargaining, inputs and information.
These however are about to be a thing of the past with the lunch of our pilot phase of the *Harvest Hope Project* (HH1) which aims to equip one thousand (1000) farmers across the 23 LGAs of kaduna state with 50% women farmers as beneficiaries with the needed skills in the uptake of Good Agronomy Practices (GAP), Cooperatives formations and market linkages. This we believe will bring about more women engaging in agriculture in the region there by reducing the poverty level and over depency of the rural woman.
However, we at KAWODI believes that "For any project to be successful, the sole beneficiaries of such project *must* be the driving stakeholders of the project " as such we go all the way to meet with our target beneficiaries right from programs inception and ensure we have the right persons on board..
