Consortium

The Grass Ceiling consortium brings together a diverse group of organisations, including academic institutions, rural development organisations, cooperatives, and agricultural producer groups. All share a common goal: to promote gender equality and sustainability. The consortium’s multidisciplinary approach fosters collaborative decision-making and innovative solutions. By working together, we aim to inspire, empower, and create new opportunities for rural women. We are committed to breaking down barriers and promoting women’s participation in rural development.
