For its twelfth edition, the European Development Days (EDD) 2018 aims at bringing together the European Union’s commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. On June 5 and 6 in Brussels, the event will focus on the vital role of women and the need for their full and equal participation and leadership in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
In full resonance with this commitment, COLEACP will be present in the EDD village (booth n ° 32) via concrete examples of business development showing the essential place of women in agribusiness in ACP countries and in Sub-Saharan Africa in particular. The opportunity also to present the results of the COLEACP Fit For Market programme (financed by EU and AFD) : 50% of the human ressources of the FFM beneficiary companies and their service providers are women.
