The principal objective of this project is to: empower women traders in cross border value chains for resilient economic growth and social cohesion in MRU. The project will start with an initial gender responsive, climate friendly and conflict sensitive value chain analysis that will inform the selection of two value chains and highlight the priority actions that need to be taken to increase the benefits women receive from cross border trade. Actions would also include reducing gender barriers such as low business management capacity, limited access to information on trade rules and regulations, markets, and financial products and gender-based violence
