Born in April 2013, the Network of Women Farmers of the North (REFAN) is an association of women and Groups for the Promotion of Women (GPF) with agricultural and para-agricultural, craft and commercial activities. With its 16,000 members scattered along the Senegal River valley and beyond, REFAN pursues an ambition that is perfectly in line with the mandate of UN Women, aiming to establish gender equality and promote economic empowerment women. Since 2017, UN Women Senegal has actively supported the Network of Women Farmers of the North (REFAN) through various projects and programs aimed at increasing the efficiency of its members in production, thus elevating them to the status of champions of agriculture. The results of this involvement are eloquent, manifested in particular by the supply, by the women of REFAN, of high quality products at very competitive prices. In order to take advantage of the enormous potential of digital technology to strengthen the economic empowerment of women, UN Women wishes to make the “Buy from Women” platform a showcase allowing REFAN members to sustainably market their products.
