The vast majority of cocoa in West Africa is grown by smallholder farmers grappling with rural poverty thereby increasing the risk of child labour. These complex problems can be addressed through concerted, consistent efforts from all parties involved. Implementing the #areabasedapproach means creating safer, more resilient agricultural communities. During the upcoming symposium in Ghana, we will delve deep into the evolving root causes of child labour, drawing insights from various contexts. Our focus will be on exploring and advocating for the implementation of area-based approaches to effectively combat child labour. How can we further support these communities to ensure sustainable and ethical cocoa production? Share your thoughts!

Entrepreneur & Financial Trainer and Coach- I Empower Women and Children to Achieve Financial Freedom through Saving and Budgeting.
Saving groups help you navigate unforeseen events. In Uganda, Saving group was introduced by Care Uganda in the late 1990s in West Nile and later popularised by Plan Uganda in the districts of Luwero, Kamuli and Tororo. Its overall aim was/is to help those that are stuck at the bottom of the economic ladder to meet the basic needs of savings and credit and other needs. Increasingly, Saving groups and SACCOs have become sources of social support for members and the community at large. During weekly meetings, not only do members discuss money matters but they also share updates on going on in the community, how to address problems of farming, information concerning an emerging health outbreak among others matters that concern them as a whole. Most of the groups have also developed a social support mechanism, where people contribute to a special fund termed as (ebigwa bitalaze) in English “unforeseen circumstances”. This fund is always used to cater for any unforeseen occurrence for any of the members. For example, when a member of the group looses a loved one, that fund is used to assist the individual/family, when a member falls sick, so on and so forth! In your saving group, do you have a Ebigwa Tebilaze fund? How useful is it? #saving #financialtips #finanacialtrainer

The state of hunger is worse than it has ever been. When a member of parliament has to deal with an average of 10,000 people in need of food, political leadership becomes tough. Then, during the current growing season you learn of a rooming dry spell that's another hunger knocking The time has come for us to call out for allies and well-wishers who can help us do what has to be done! There is an urgent need for food assistance in Thyolo, Balaka, and most of southern Malawi as a short-term measure but going forward we must think outside the box if we are to arrest hunger as subscribed by the sustainable development goals. #zerohunger!

I'm a politician, a Humanitarian, and an Advocate. I promote women's empowerment in Agriculture and women's involvement in politics.
Agriculture is the best solution for tackling poverty in the market.
During site visits to U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) grantees across Liberia, a standout theme was the significant impact of women-led cooperatives in uplifting women in their communities through various agricultural income-generating activities. 🌾 This was evident in our visits to the Liberia Business Incubator, Sua-Yelle Multipurpose Cooperative, and United Women for Sustainable Development. By providing training, equipment, agricultural inputs, financial support, and more, these cooperatives, with USADF support, empower women to become successful farmers, agroprocessors, and agripreneurs in value chains such as cassava and cocoa. 📈 #US #Africa #Liberia #Partnership #EconomicDevelopment #WomensEmpowerment

As we recognize Human Trafficking Prevention Month this January, we want to share how LUV’s holistic approach to preventing trafficking relies on three pillars: protection, education, and economic development. Investing in the economic development of a community can transform and stabilize the lives of vulnerable people because it provides a catalyst to transition from dependency towards self-sufficiency and stability. Our anti-trafficking network indigenous partners and the children and women we serve are equipped to be innovative and self-sufficient. We invest in strategic initiatives such as large-scale farming, small business income generation, and savings groups to create a path towards economic independence and flourishing. In the face of adversity, our economic development initiatives became a lifeline for vulnerable women like Alakir who was offered the tools and opportunity to lift up her and her family. At its core, our economic development programs aim to strengthen families. Widows and women we employ witness their children reaping the benefits of our educational program — providing access to opportunities that should be available to everyone. Help us expand these economic opportunities and strengthen families in South Sudan.

TRUSTING LOCALLY LED ORGANIZATIONS TO DELIVER THE NEEDED RESULTS Locally led organizations are best positioned to deliver results and impact at scale! Faced with the challenge of funding and the threat of compromising our vision and mission in the face of 'donor funding dictates', and 'dangling' a carrot that might help us survive, we must stay on course. It is better to refuse funding that does not align with our mission than to accept convenient offers that could breed and sow the seeds of destruction for our mission. For five years, we have refused to bend just to fit into the donor funding scope for survival. Instead, we have stayed true to our mission even in difficult times. We understand that infrastructure is expensive, but we take it one day at a time - "equiping communities with solar-powered water infrastructure and systems for productive use, food security, house hold income and improved livelihoods." For us, that is a game-changers. Thank you to our partners Tevel and MashaV for the greenhouse, which will provide the community of Mphande in Zambia with seedlings for their keyhole gardens at each home, using less water. Below, Oden Hamachila is checking the seedlings and ensuring they are receiving the needed water! We are Africa Access Water! www.africaaccesswater.org #tevel #solarpoweredwaterforproductiveuse
