Mauritania - Promotion of Gender-Sensitive Agricultural Value Chains to Support the Agricultural Transformation Support Programme (PCVASG-PATAM)

About this project

Overall, it will help to improve food security and the quality of life for the target population through inclusive and sustainable gender-sensitive value chain development.
