Webinar 7: Enhancing social sustainability and the roles of women and youth in agricultural mechanization in Africa

This is the seventh webinar in the series that FAO is doing in collaboration with AUC and African Conservation. Tillage Network (ACT) has been holding to disseminate F-SAMA. It focuses on Element No. 7 of the F-SAMA to provide a better understanding of social sustainability and the roles of women and youth
in agricultural mechanization in Africa. This is germane to ensure that mechanization targets women, who bear the brunt of African agriculture, while also making agriculture more attractive and a choice for employment and entrepreneurship by youth. It brings subject experts to lead the discussions and also provides a platform for stakeholders to share information, experiences, and good practices on innovative and inclusive approaches. The webinar targets public and private stakeholders—including. Directors and Heads of Agricultural Mechanization Services, Gender Equality and Women's Organizations, Farmers' Organizations, the Private Sector, Non-Governmental Organizations, Youth Associations, and the Academia.
