Youth, women, and Market Systems Development in agriculture and supporting markets

Effective market systems development requires equitable participation and benefits for men, women, and male and female youth.

This webinar will share findings from a landscape analysis and select case studies conducted by the USAID Feed the Future Advancing Women’s Empowerment (AWE) Program. It will explore gender and youth-specific constraints and opportunities in agriculture and supporting market systems. It will also cover lessons learned about the gender-and-youth-targeted market systems approaches, including promising practices and both positive and negative unintended consequences. Examples will be shared from accompanying case studies that zoom in on interventions, approaches,and tactics used by implementing partners.
