Economic empowerment is the capacity of women and men to participate in, contribute to and benefit from growth processes in ways that recognise the value of their contributions, respect their dignity and make it possible to negotiate a fairer distribution of the benefits of growth. Economic empowerment increases women’s access to economic resources, market places and opportunities including jobs, financial services, property and other productive assets, skills development and market information.
ROCF strives to empower communities and make them self-reliant. We promote sustainable forms of employment for vulnerable individuals, families and communities like women and farmers enabling them to improve their livelihood and be involved in profitable commerce.
