Gender and Inclusion

Gender and Inclusion

ICCo has a stated focus on women in most of its programs and interventions, where women are equipped and enabled to play the lead role in household decision-making, livelihoods, entrepreneurship, and in ensuring the education and health of the children in the community.

As part of our commitment to structural inclusion and breaking away from stereotypical roles for women, ICCo has identified sectors such as pisciculture, areca nut cultivation, piggery, among others. In these sectors, we are actively fostering women’s participation through the establishment of social enterprises in the form of cooperatives and Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs). By creating avenues for women to engage in these non-traditional activities, we aim to promote economic empowerment and enhance their roles as key contributors to the overall development of their communities.
