Why focus on gender equity in food processing? At @TechnoServe, we have seen that food processing businesses can be effective change agents for accelerating gender equality and social inclusion. The AINFP program’s experience in promoting inclusive supply chains through gender-responsive sourcing strategies led to incredible results, such as AA Nafaka Store Supply in Tanzania increasing sourcing from women farmers from 26% to 65%. With tailored support to enhance women’s leadership and business skills, the program has supported $77.9M in sales from women-led processors and created 1,140 jobs for women. Transformation at every level—this is what we mean by inclusive food systems transformation. #InvestInNutrition #FoodSystemsTransformation
