Project concept
Initial situation
The agricultural sector is difficult for women to access as a source of employment. Specifically, the proportion of women in the agricultural sector is estimated to be low, especially in managerial positions. Thus, women are still underrepresented as farm managers in agricultural enterprises. Consequently, there is still a noticeable gender gap in agriculture.
Target groups and their benefits
The GAEA project is aimed at young women in rural areas. It aims to help them develop their entrepreneurial skills and thus find new employment opportunities in agriculture. In addition, the GAEA project targets policy-makers and policy-making bodies with the aim of formulating official policy proposals and influencing public institutions to make more informed decisions about incentives and training opportunities for women to enter agricultural businesses.
Project goal
The GAEA project aims to improve the quality of entrepreneurial training in the agricultural sector for young women in rural areas. It also aims to support women who are not in employment or education (NEETs).
Role of SoWiBeFo
SoWiBeFo leads the internal quality assurance, coordinates data collection and analysis of user feedback. SoWiBeFo also provides support in dissemination.
