Grassroot Women Farmers in Manufacturing and Trades Development Association of Nigeria (GWFMTDAN) is a non-governmental organization committed to empowering women engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and trade through capacity building, advocacy, financial inclusion, innovation, and sustainable community development.
Grassroot Women Farmers in Manufacturing and Trades Development Association of Nigeria (GWFMTDAN) is a registered non-governmental and non-profit organization committed to empowering women engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, trade, and vocational occupations across Nigeria. We believe that when women are empowered with knowledge, skills, resources, and opportunities, they become catalysts for sustainable economic growth, food security, poverty reduction, and community transformation.
Our organization was established to address the numerous challenges faced by women, especially those in rural and underserved communities. Through innovative programmes, strategic partnerships, advocacy, and capacity-building initiatives, we provide women with access to modern agricultural practices, business development support, vocational training, financial literacy, market linkages, cooperative development, and leadership opportunities that enable them to improve their livelihoods and become financially independent.
At GWFMTDAN, we are passionate about promoting inclusive economic participation by supporting women farmers, manufacturers, artisans, traders, and young entrepreneurs. Our initiatives encourage sustainable agriculture, local manufacturing, value addition, digital innovation, climate-smart farming, and enterprise development while advocating for policies that protect the rights and interests of women and rural communities.
