ASEAN Green Recovery through Equity and Empowerment (AGREE) Project

Brief Description

(Project duration: 2022-2025) The goal (i.e. Impact-level change) of the Project is to facilitate a transition to a low-carbon economy in ASEAN’s agriculture sector that promotes livelihoods and green job opportunities for women as an essential element of the ASEAN COVID-19 Comprehensive Recovery Implementation Plan. We want to demonstrate that empowering women farmers, women landowners, and women entrepreneurs in ASEAN is an essential component for economic growth and competitiveness, and a pathway for decarbonization and climate resilience. The Project is implementing action research activities in Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines, to understand opportunities and barriers to economic opportunities and pandemic-recovery strategies that are both gender-inclusive and climate-positive. The Project contributes a catalogue of what's working, what’s needed, and how to scale women's economic empowerment via low-carbon strategies. Recommendations will adopt a multi-stakeholder approach because achieving the above mentioned goal requires coordinated collaboration between many different actors.
