Gender Equality

We are committed to integrating women into the formal economy by facilitating their access to and control over resources and benefits. We build co-operative and associative enterprises that become catalysts for strengthening women’s empowerment and reducing inequalities.

Family Enterprises : Men and women are made aware of gender equality issues and learn about joint management of the family enterprise. This helps challenge gender stereotypes and discriminatory norms and practices.

Co-operative Enterprises : Organizations are supported in integrating gender equality into their practices in order to become profitable and sustainable. Socodevi supports inclusive governance within management and decision-making structures by helping organizations develop gender equality action plans and by promoting institutional tools that foster inclusiveness.

Stakeholders : We develop strategic partnerships with public and private organizations, and inform them of the equality issues and obstacles encountered by women in the economic sectors we address. This creates a business and institutional environment conducive to inclusive economic development

Women leaders : Women are able to strengthen their management and co-operative entrepreneurship abilities and become the leaders of their family enterprises, organizations and communities.
