Rural futures in focus: Chad
Many of Chad’s rural people face ongoing fragility and crises. We caught up with Rachel Senn, IFAD’s Country Director for Chad, to learn more about the way forward.
A group of courageous Guatemalan women set off in 2010 to form their own farming cooperative, "4Pinos" after facing discrimination in the men's cooperative. IFAD supported this endeavor, which has now grown to employ nearly 500 women, and is a completely self-sustainable business. The women's produce is also now exported beyond Guatemala's borders to international distributors.
