In particular it focuses on enhanced economic opportunities for women and youth through improved access to resources (e.g. land, water, inputs, training and mechanization) that help women realize additional revenues. Consequently, it results in greater economic empowerment as women get access to their own income and have more say over household budgets. It further contributes to changes at community level as a result of women being perceived as equal actors in the overall socio-economic environment. In addition, women's access to water for agricultural and productive uses has a significant impact on household incomes and food security since water is a key agricultural input. Indeed, it contributes to increased resilience of small-scale farmers and to increased incomes, particularly among women small-scale farmers, by enabling dry season agriculture and cultivation of high-value crops during the off-season, while protecting water sources for other uses. It is planned that during the inception phase of the different programs, each future implementing partners will have to conduct a gender assessment of the particular needs of women and girls, including refugees and IDPs, in the states where they will implement the action and provide gender disaggregated data. The action will focus on enhanced economic opportunities for women through improved access to resources (e.g. land, water, inputs, training and mechanization) that help women to close the yield gap between men and women and realize women's rights to land and other productive resources.
