Update (10/12/2010): WGG's renewable energy project featured in Reuters' AlertNet - chosen by Cameroonian government Cocoa farmers in southwest Cameroon, where cocoa quality has for years suffered as a result of unusually heavy rains, now have some good news: The government has announced a plan to dry cocoa beans with renewable energy.  To do so, it has chosen Women for Green Growth's women-centered business plan, operated on the basis of a technology developed by Farmers for the Future and CocoaMasters , some of our key partners. Read the article   Welcome to Women for Green Growth (WGG). We believe that women in the developing world are not only victims of environmental threats, they are actually the main agents who can engender lasting solutions to the many ecological crises the world faces today. In order to bring about these solutions, WGG focuses on key spheres of interaction with the environment in which women play the biggest role: energy, agriculture, water management and sanitation, and the built environment.  However, women cannot be reduced to the traditional sphere of domesticity. That is why we do not shy away from engaging in actions that aim to bring about political, social and economic emancipation - a key tool for women's participation in decision making, both at the local level and on the global level. To find innovative and sustainable interventions in all these fields, a thorough gender perspective is needed. Too often, development projects and strategies mention gender in passing, only to find later that it is a key factor determining their success or failure. We aim to prevent this. WGG consists of young women and men from a variety of scientific backgrounds, who come together to provide interdisciplinary perspectives on the great challenges of our time. Most of us are located in developing countries or have lived and worked there for years. We actively engage in South-North dialogues. Even though we are an ambitious organisation, we dedicate our expertise to the development of appropriate and gender-sensitive technologies and development concepts for the world's most underserved. These approaches are often small-scale, local and based on a thorough, ethnographic understanding of the context of the problems we address.  Here at WGG we are building a portfolio of projects and a network of partner organisations. As we are a very young organisation, we invite you to get in touch with us, if you feel that you have interesting views, projects or opportunities to share.
