Description
In this episode, Jeanine Cooper, former Liberian Minister of Agriculture, and founder of FABRAR, a pioneering agri-business, discusses intra-regional food trade in West Africa. She urges policymakers to work with the realities of trade informality for more effective economic planning, warning that relying on flawed data leads to flawed development outcomes. She emphasises the importance of recognising and supporting the vital contributions and unique challenges faced by women in this sector, advocating for holistic empowerment strategies that not only enhance women’s farming capabilities but also address their disproportionate domestic responsibilities.
