Request For Proposals- Identifying Approaches to Advance Producer Empowerment

We are seeking proposals from skilled individuals or organisations to: (i) identify proven strategies for supporting women into organisational leadership roles; (ii) review and share how women in these roles are active change agents, promoting gender equality in their local communities, specifically to women in cotton.

With this study, we wish to generate a better understanding of the best practices among two of our Programme Partners to support women to take on leadership roles and the impact that having women field staff have on gender mainstreaming within the projects. The purpose of the study is to share best practices and learnings with donors, sustainability standards and civil society organisations to design and support processes that enhance gender equality and women’s empowerment.
