There are both strong moral and ethical reasons and a compelling business case for addressing GBV in the private sector, which are strongly interlinked: GBV not only negatively affects the health and well-being of those who experience it, it also reduces agricultural productivity, workplace and worker productivity, and workforce readiness, as well as market competitiveness, stability, and resilience.

The USAID Feed the Future Advancing Women’s Empowerment (AWE) Program aims to enhance agriculture programming by increasing the meaningful engagement of women, improving women’s returns from agricultural activities and improving women’s empowerment. AWE promotes a cycle of learning by capturing technical best practices, generating practical resources for gender equality and women’s empowerment, developing practitioners’ capacity, and widely sharing information and resources developed through their work. AWE is implemented by EnCompass LLC with core partners ACDI/VOCA, MarketShare Associates (MSA), and FHI360.

The USAID/Uganda Feed the Future Inclusive Agricultural Markets (IAM) Activity was selected to pilot the GBV in Ag Toolkit.
