Summary:For many years, FAO has championed a community-driven approach centered on facilitating the engagement of rural communities—through dialogue and action—as catalysts for their own development. Known as Dimitra Clubs, this approach aims to promote rural people’s empowerment while enhancing women's leadership and gender equality.

This webinar looks at gender-transformative change through the lens of intersectionality.
