At @LBDAgov , our sunflower project is demonstrating how best agricultural practices, value addition and farmer support can unlock a commercially viable value chain.
We plan to scale to 20,000 acres through contracting and supporting farmers across the Lake Region, integrating production, aggregation, processing and edible oil production.
The goal: higher farmer incomes, jobs, local value addition and reduced reliance on imported edible oils.

The training aimed to deepen understanding of SRHR and GE concepts,exploring the importance of engaging both women and men in advancing these principles and establishing mechanisms to integrate SRHR and GE into workplace policies and practices.
Discussions highlighted the importance of embedding SRHR within workplace policies, fostering inclusivity and equity for all employees and upholding confidentiality in all SRHR related services.
Participants had the opportunity to share personal experiences of SRHR violations at work,exchanging insights on best practices for safeguarding reproductive rights and promoting gender equality.
The workshop concluded with actionable commitments from participants to champion SRHR and Gender Equality in their respective organizations. By integrating the lessons learned into workplace policies, the participants aim to foster safer, more inclusive, and equitable work environments. The collaborative approach demonstrated during the workshop underscored the collective responsibility in advancing these crucial principles, ensuring that no employee is left behind.
