Fatima Ahmed and Nanase Tonda - Zenab for Women in Development, Sudan
Within the ever-increasing paradigm of promoting gender equality, the subconscious perceptions amongst policymakers and practitioners tend to be that women farmers in rural areas are the victims of gendered violence – and that local grassroots NGOs have limited capacity in bringing about scale, impact or sustainability compared to international bodies with greater resources.
Experience of Zenab for Women in Development (ZWD) challenges this perception in rural Sudan.
