• WFP, supported by the WFP Accelerator and ALAC, presented the final results of the Ellas Pueden pilot project in Cajamarca. This project raised awareness of gender and human rights issues, food systems, climate change and financial education.

The project helped develop 40 business plans and strengthened collective enterprises while promoting associativity and productive diversification.
