PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Many farms in developing and emerging countries are limited in the design of their production options. Individual family businesses have too little power at the political level to represent their interests vis-à-vis state institutions and the private sector.
Successful representation of interests requires strong self-organization in farmers' interest and service associations. However, the majority of these associations are too weak to successfully implement this concern. The global project supports farmers' organizations in India and five other partner countries in Africa with the special initiative "ONE WORLD, no hunger" of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Objective
Farmers' organizations - with particular attention to smallholder structures - are strengthened for the economic, social and environmentally friendly development of rural areas.
Approach
The project promotes self-organization of family and small farms so that they can better realize their interests and build efficient internal structures. This enables them to represent their interests to the state, society and the economy independently and responsibly. In addition, organizations offer their members improved services and training opportunities. As a result, entrepreneurial farmers can improve their production and marketing and thus increase their income. The project integrates the needs of women and young people into the project activities. The
global project supports its partner organizations through exchanges of experience with international association
