| description | “She Feeds the World” program is a program that empowers women in farming communities by integrating them into the agricultural value chain. With increased access to essential resources such as land, seeds, water, and technical training, women are expected to actualize their full potential and generate more income. This paper explores the intersection of societal mobilization and economic development through a case study of the “Aysheen Bekhirha” program. By drawing on primary sources, the researcher aims to provide insights into the program’s multifaceted approach and its impact on economic and social outcomes. The analysis focuses on the significance of women’s financial and productive contributions to their families’ well-being and quality of life. Additionally, the researcher examines the program’s transformative power in empowering women through participants perceptions and voices in improving their livelihoods and fostering a more equitable and resilient rural society in Egypt. Participants reported significant improvements in their financial independence and decision-making power, which led to increased household income and better nutrition outcomes for their families, they even perceived the enhanced relationship with their children and their husbands too. Through agricultural training and capacity building, women engaged in the program have sustainably improved their skills, fostering a culture of shared support and collaboration within their communities. |
