| dcterms.description | In the Gambian Women in Development project, the Agricultural Inputs Office acts as a wholesaler of fertilisers, pesticides and seeds. In a precursor FAO project, nearly all the retailers were men (individuals, or groups of farmers usually involved in 'mens' crops', i.e. cash crops). The WID project recruited individuals and groups of women as retailers. Three years later, virtually all the male retailers are in default as compared to only one female retailer. The beneficiaries receive the inputs on credit, and have the option of selling them on for cash or credit. This initiative is also a mechanism for increasing women's access to credit, because many female retailers sell to men for cash and to women for credit. The range of goods is being widened to include small tools and equipment, and spare parts. Source: World Bank Toolkit on Gender and Agriculture | en |
