RURAL WOMEN CULTIVATING CHANGE
Partners Gather for Annual Planning
In late February, Eileen Alma (Executive Director), Brian Lazzuri (Manager of Marketing and Communications), and Veronica Torres (Program Teaching Staff) traveled to Ethiopia for the annual Rural Women Cultivating Change (RWCC) planning session hosted by WE-Action Ethiopia and the Institute for Sustainable Development - ISD.
RWCC, led by SeedChange / Sème l’avenir, supports project activities, led by local organizations in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Kenya, that are creating space and capacity for women to take control of their lives, advocate for themselves and others, and take leadership roles within their communities and beyond. The project is funded by Global Affairs Canada. Coady Institute serves as an educational partner.
Representatives of SeedChange, Coady, WE-Action Ethiopia, ISD, HIVOS East Africa, Pelum Tanzania, Tanzania Gender Networking Program (TGNP), Groots Kenya and SeedSavers Network Kenya gathered to discuss communications and advocacy strategy both in East Africa and Canada as RWCC passes the midway mark.
