The Gender Transformative and Responsible Agribusiness Investments in South East Asia phase two (GRAISEA 2) programme aims to transform opportunities for small-scale producers in the rice and shrimp value chains. The programme achieves this by acting as a catalyst for the emergence of inclusive value chains and responsible business practices that respect human rights and drive women’s economic empowerment and climate resilience.
GRAISEA 2 works simultaneously on three levels (producer, private sector, and government), and across three thematic priorities: women’s economic empowerment, promoting women's rights, and addressing unequal power relations; strengthening climate resilience and reducing vulnerability; and collaboration with, and influencing of, the private sector on inclusive business practices and models.
Implementing locations
Kien Giang, An Giang, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu, and Ca Mau provinces

2. Result 2 (Private sector level): Within the agriculture and seafood value chains, market actors deliver opportunities that integrate small-scale producers, promote women’s economic empowerment, and support climate change resilience through inclusive business, fairness in market linkages at local, national and regional levels.
