Equitable, effective and sustainable rural development cannot be achieved without recognizing the contributions that rural women make to food production and the well-being of their families. Several studies have shown that climate change accentuates gender inequality with greater repercussions on women and young people, especially those who work in the agricultural sector.

According to the Inter-American Development Bank study “Entrepreneurship ecosystems in Latin America and the Caribbean in the face of covid 19, in the demands for support from ecosystem organizations, technical assistance to implement an action plan in the face of the crisis (66% ) is highly relevant.

On the basis of these realities Solidaridad with the support of their Allies has developed CO2-HERENCIA , Agroleanign and severlas hybrid solution (digital and face-to-face) that encourages rural women and youth to develop capacities for climate-smart practices, digital transformation, entrepreneurship.
