Watch the Video – Rural Women, Rural Power: RFLD’s Economic Justice Fund Drives Economic Growth and Gender Equality

The Réseau des Femmes Leaders pour le Développement (RFLD) has launched a new video highlighting the transformative impact of its Economic Justice Fund on the lives of rural women in West and Central Africa.
