The Women Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), international non- governmental organisations ( INGOs ) have provided funding to Iwuese MCS, a cooperative operating in both Taraba and Adamawa States to equip women and girls with rice and cassava milling machines.

The gesture according to Executive Director Iwuese Multipurpose Cooperative Society, Ritdimwa Orga during the empowerment programme, was to enable the beneficiaries to establish their milling centres and enhance their economic independence.

She said the initiative also included comprehensive technical training on operating rice and cassava milling machines, adding that participants received training on various aspects of milling machine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure proficiency in utilizing these machines effectively.

Orga said in addition to technical training, the women received training in business skills development, a key component needed by the women and girls in establishing and managing their milling centres successfully.

She said in a bid to achieve maximum community impact, the women and some men in the community were trained to become successful cassava stem (TME 419 variety) and Rice (Faro 52) seed entrepreneurs.

This not only enhances their yeild and productivity but also ensures the sustainability and profitability of their businesses and community at large.

“Iwuese Cooperative, known for its dedication to women’s empowerment, played a crucial role in implementing this 4 week-long training program. Leveraging their expertise in improved agricultural practices and cooperative management.

“With the establishment of sustainable income-generating activities, these centers will achieve long-term impacts that will extend well beyond their duration. The diverse range of support ensures that the women and girls can create profitable businesses in the rice and cassava value chains and impact their communities. Ultimately leading to poverty reduction and transformative change.” said Ritdimwa Orga, ED of Iwuese Multipurpose Cooperative Society.
