THE FUSE

A two day National Women Coordinators Forum held in Mbombela has been praised as a major success after bringing together delegates from Departments of Agriculture across Gauteng, Limpopo, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape. The forum, led by South Africa’s national Department of Agriculture, focused on empowering women and persons with disabilities through sustainable development initiatives and community support programmes. Delegates used the opportunity to engage directly with grassroots projects that continue to make a meaningful difference in local communities. The gathering highlighted the importance of collaboration between provinces in addressing social and economic challenges faced by vulnerable groups. It also reinforced government efforts to create more inclusive agricultural and development programmes that can improve livelihoods and expand opportunities for women and persons with disabilities across the country.
