PROCAMPO Learning Series

Counterpart International has implemented USDA’s Food for Progress project in Guatemala, known as PROCAMPO (Productores del Campo Más Prósperos y Organizados) for over a decade. As the program comes to a close, the project team has gathered data from various participants, implementing partners, and other key stakeholders to document PROCAMPO’s accomplishments, successes, and lessons learned. The PROCAMPO Learning Series covers topics of financial services, accredited certification, trade fairs, and the impact of project activities on agricultural producer groups.

Advancing Inclusion, Investing in Women
In all our work, Counterpart ensures that diverse women have the skills, resources, sense of self-worth, and decision-making power to make their own choices, exercise their human rights, and influence economic, political, and social change.

Catalyzing Global Women’s Leadership in the Green and Blue Economies

To mark International Women’s Day 2024, Counterpart International and co-sponsors EnCompass LLC, Chemonics International, and the Saudat Salami Foundation organized an event aimed at better understanding the challenges that diverse groups of women around the world face in accessing and leading in the green and blue economies, and to hear their priorities for advancing a more women-inclusive and sustainable sector that could contribute to global economic growth and food security. The resulting white paper reflects many of the themes that emerged from that important conversation, as well as additional research on the realities of and potential solutions for emerging women leaders in the growing green and blue economies. This paper aims to share lessons learned with women-owned businesses and female entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses within the blue and green economies, and public and private sector leaders who want to eliminate barriers, provide access to innovative funding mechanisms, and help to strengthen the enabling environment for women-run green and blue economic actors around the world.
