PQDL: Program Quality Digital Library

A Place to Grow was an 18-month effort to establish a strong understanding of the ways in which CARE includes or fails to include women and girls in agriculture and agribusiness initiatives. The project incorporated the development of a Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Framework, a portfolio review and a series of Circles of Learning and informational interviews to validate initial findings. The results include a series of case studies on specific country projects, an aggregated toolkit for women’s empowerment through agriculture programming, a synthesis paper highlighting the overall strengths and weaknesses of CARE's work in this area and a series of related input documents with additional information on particular country or project activities.
