From 8 to 15 January, ESCWA organized a capacity-building workshop for rural women in Mauritania on the topics of renewable energy, agriculture, clean cooking, rural development, women empowerment, and the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus.
The workshop aimed to empower rural women and young people in Mauritania and to advance good agricultural, food and energy practices based on the sustainable use of natural resources for an enhanced understanding of the WEF nexus and sustainable development.
The workshop, held within the framework of the Regional Initiative to Promote Small-Scale Renewable Energy Applications in Rural Areas of the Arab Region (REGEND), was funded by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), and organized in partnership with the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development (AOAD) with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty in Mauritania.
