AMURIA NAADS COORDINATOR HAILS FOWODE WORK



‘I am working with women in Amuria but there is something different about the FOWODE female farmers’. These are the words of Christine Iyamet, the Amuru district NAADs coordinator.

 At a monitoring visit in Amuria Sub County, the NAADs coordinator commended FOWODE for not giving the female farmers money but knowledge. Iyamet says many interventions have made women in the communities get used to hand outs inform of money.


In Kuju sub county, the FOWODE groups are the easiest to deal with. Their participation is good and I have no problems mobilization. Many are now becoming leaders. she said. 
The Kuju female farmers group has given birth to 10 other women’s groups after the success of the trained farmers. These groups have been registered at the sub county and are now using the lessons learnt from the FOWODE farmers. 
FOWODE is implementing a 3 year project to make female headed households food secure. The project that runs in the districts of Amuru, Amuria and Napak has registered tremendous success with many women not only providing for their families but taking up leadership positions in their communities.
