WIDO beneficiaries are agro-based with 85% engaged with agriculture either directly or indirectly. Agriculture is the main economical sector of the WIDO beneficiary groups due to the availability of cultivation worthy land and availability of labor. Despite this, farmers are deprived in various ways. Access to financial services is limited due to the small-scale of operations of the farmers. Farmers are also under the threat of climate change effects and adopting unsustainable farming practices. WIDO in partnership with the Cornelius family in Belgium and SNV has created employment among the rural poor families, by increasing the income level of rural women through Shea butter production and soya production. Under this, 1450 beneficiaries are trained on shea processing and are making an average income of $55.5 from Shea in the Upper West region monthly. In addition, 890 women farmers were trained on soya cultivation and processing. These women are producing an average of 1.5 acres each and making income of over $100 per season. These groups have been trained and receive certification from the department of cooperative for production, processing and marketing of shea, soya and maize.
