The overall objective of the intervention is to empower women in the onion value chains by enhancing their access to knowledge, productive resources, and leadership opportunities. The intervention will improve productivity and quality through Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), strengthen post-harvest infrastructure and market access, introduce gender-sensitive tools and mechanization, and promote women’s active participation in cooperatives, producer groups, and financial decision-making—ultimately enabling them to become more visible, capable, and empowered economic actors within their communities. The selected Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) will implement comprehensive, gender-responsive intervention to empower women in the onion value chains in the administrative unit of Postribë, Municipality of Shkodër. This intervention will focus on inclusive group formation, capacity building, technical assistance, and market integration, tailored to the specific needs of rural women agricultural producers. The approach will apply participatory methods, ensure cultural sensitivity, and promote sustainability through institutional partnerships, strengthened extension services, and youth engagement.
