creating and strengthening ‘procedures that could develop the saving culture of women’;
improving ‘the livelihood of women and youth … through expansion of irrigation developments, modern animal husbandry practices; and women’s and youth’s use of technology’.

d. Make training and education accessible for those women and youth who are outside school systems (p.79) »
