Why the Epicenter Strategy?
• This strategy is replicable. It has already been applied in 1,000 villages in eight countries and it is improving more than 3 million lives. • It empowers women. Women in Africa are the most important – yet least supported – producers on the continent. The epicenter strategy places women and their leadership at the center of the development process. • It is integrated and holistic. It achieves synergy among programs in health (including HIV/AIDs prevention), education, adult literacy, nutrition, improved farming and food security, microfinance, water and sanitation. \u003cspan style\u003d\”font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial\”\> \u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cul style\u003d\”margin-top:0in\” type\u003d\”disc\”\>\n \u003cli\>\u003cfont size\u003d\”3\” face\u003d\”Arial\”\>\u003cspan style\u003d\”font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial\”\>It is \u003cb\>\u003cspan style\u003d\”font-weight:bold\”\>economically sustainable\u003c/span\>\u003c/b\>.
