Building Capacity for Change: Developing Women’s Leadership and Business SkillsThis is an account of the “Developing Leadership & Business Skills for Informal Women Workers in Fair Trade” project, which took place in three countries in Africa – Kenya, Ghana and Uganda – between December 2012 and December 2015. The project aimed to develop the leadership and business skills of informal home‑based women workers and farmers in Fair Trade. It has demonstrated that by building the capacity of women to understand the critical assets they need to be productive and by developing their organizing, financial management, production and marketing skills, sustainable change can be achieved.
