GROOTS Kenya in June 2021 entered into an agreement with Seed Change through the funding of Global Affairs Canada to implement a 6 years “Rural Women Cultivating Change (RWCC)” project in Kenya. At the country level, GROOTS Kenya works in collaboration with Seed Savers and HIVOs. The project has three components;
Enhanced and more systematic engagement of and by young and adult rural women in public leadership and transformative decision-making processes including women’s and farmers’ rights and climate adaptation
Strengthened prevention of and response to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) by individuals (f/m) and state/civil society actors
Enhanced engagement of young and adult women in climate-resilient food production systems and income generating activities.
GROOTS Kenya is implementing the project in Kitui and Laikipia Counties
