Globalization and Rural Food Processing by Andean Women of Peru and Bolivia
This research project will map the value-chain of food products in 5 specific experiences of economic initiatives by women, which are proving successful in inserting themselves in dynamic markets. It seeks to understand which actors intervene in the chain (women producers, intermediaries, wholesalers, local markets, supermarkets, imports, etc), how they interact, what is the participation of women along the chain and what problems/opportunities they face to improve their participation. This accompanied of an analysis of their social and work situation and of what is needed to build or strengthen existing organizations of women producers. The project is organized to involve multi-disciplinary stakeholders, and to propose public policies and programs by Governments (local and central) and by other organizations (NGOs, foreign cooperation, women associations) to improve the situation of women in rural economic activities.
