About FAIR for ALL IMPROVING VALUE CHAINS AT SCALE
A consortium led by Oxfam Novib and including the Huairou Commission, Third World Network-Africa and SOMO has obtained funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) under its Power of Voices subsidy framework to implement a 5-year programme called “FAIR for ALL” (F4A). The programme will be implemented from 2021 through 2025 in 17 projects: 13 country projects (Brazil, South Africa, Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, OPT, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar), Regional projects Africa and Asia, Global and Netherlands projects.
Thus, the strategic objective of FAIR for ALL is a strengthened Civil Society which is capable of creating space and mobilizing people across geographies to demand and contribute to more inclusive and sustainable trade and value-chains that respect human rights, protect the environment and promote women’s economic empowerment. This implies rebalancing developing countries’ reliance on dominant primary-commodity value chains, reforming tax and trade regimes and increasing investment in local and national value chains that benefit small-scale farmers, workers, and artisanal miners, in particular women and their communities. The strategic objective will be accomplished via the pathways stated in detailed TORs.
