By strengthening women’s leadership in agriculture and addressing the barriers they face, TRANSFORM helps drive higher household incomes, improved food security, and more inclusive, resilient rural economies. #IWD2026 #GenderEquality #WomenInAgriculture #SoilHealth #Ethiopia

This exercise sparks meaningful dialogue on a powerful truth: a woman’s ability to lead, innovate, and thrive isn’t defined by talent alone. It depends on an enabling environment shaped by social norms and institutional support.

IFDC's TRANSFORM program in Ethiopia celebrated International Women’s Day 2026 through dynamic, hands‑on engagements that highlight our commitment to reducing inequality and expanding opportunities for rural women and youth.

40,838+ hectares of land have been restored by communities in Uganda’s highlands by constructing terraces, trenches and grassbunds on steep slopes. This has increased arable land, agricultural production and household incomes. The BRIGHT Project made this possible. @NLinUganda

From 26–28 Feb 2026, the TRANSFORM Program convened experts in Adama, #Ethiopia, to strengthen farmer-led soil health and fertility research. This will be key to driving practical, scalable solutions for soil health, productivity & climate resilience. 🌾🌍 #SoilHealth
