Some have increased their stock, diversified their products, employed staff and adopted digital marketing and payment platforms. Others have joined SACCOs, accessed loans and set savings targets to support business expansion.The training has also changed how women manage their finances. One woman said, โ€œI learnt to keep personal money from business money.โ€ Others are using records to track sales, identify fast moving products and prepare budgets.For Eunice Radiro, who runs a boutique, the training led to changes in both her products and customer engagement: โ€œ๐ผ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘ . ๐ผ๐‘›๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐ผ ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘’ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘›๐‘”. ๐ผ'๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘›๐‘ก ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘“๐‘ฆ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐ผ โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’ ๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘‘๐‘ข๐‘๐‘ก๐‘  ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘ž๐‘ข๐‘’. ๐ผ ๐‘ค๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘ ๐‘œ ๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘ข๐‘”โ„Ž๐‘ก โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘ค ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘œ๐‘๐‘’๐‘› ๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘›๐‘ข๐‘š๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐‘๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘œ๐‘š๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘Ž๐‘โ„Ž โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘–๐‘š๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘š๐‘ฆ ๐‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘ โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘  ๐‘–๐‘š๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘’ ๐ผ'๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘›๐‘ก ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘ ๐‘˜๐‘’๐‘’๐‘๐‘–๐‘›๐‘”.โ€Women are also using business plans to set targets for expanding their businesses, increasing M-Pesa float, building business structures and acquiring additional equipment. The evaluation identified limited access to capital, stiff competition and slow business growth as challenges that still affect their businesses.The progress is clear. Women are planning, saving, keeping records, managing their finances and making decisions with greater confidence. The next step is to ensure that these efforts are matched with access to capital, markets and continued support. ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ, ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐š๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ž ๐›๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ?#Womeninpoliticske #WomenEconomicEmpowerment ...

Women need access to and control over productive resources, markets, institutions and decisions that affect their livelihoods.KEWOPAโ€™s participation strengthened efforts to connect global frameworks with Kenyaโ€™s legislative, policy and budgetary processes and the realities facing women and girls, particularly those in agriculture and informal economies.We appreciate FAO, Tanager and the partners involved in creating a space for learning and collective action.๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ๐ž ๐†๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐›๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฅ๐š๐ฐ๐ฌ, ๐›๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐›๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ž๐ญ๐ฌ, ๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐œ ๐š๐ ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ฒ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฌ, ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐›๐š๐ฅ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ฅ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐?#FoodSecurity #womeninpoliticske ...
