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.

Outcomes

  • Female and male small-scale producers are able to participate and benefit fairly from economic opportunities in agriculture and seafood value chains.
  • 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.
  • An enabling environment for business and inclusive agricultural investment that supports women’s economic empowerment and climate resilience.
