USAID: Advancing Equality in Agricultural Supply Chains

Expanding commitments across industries

In parallel, USAID is increasing its focus on gender equity in climate finance through the Climate Gender Equity Fund.

The fund, supported by partners like Amazon and Reckitt, ensures women-led organisations have access to resources that help drive sustainable innovations.

These efforts complement the agricultural supply chain initiative by addressing interconnected challenges. From land rights to energy access, women’s inclusion across all supply chains strengthens their efficiency and sustainability.

In total, USAID and its partners have mobilised more than US$681m in new commitments toward advancing WISE objectives, with a total investment of US$2bn.

The collaboration spans governments, corporations and civil society, all working to transform supply chains into drivers of gender equity and environmental stewardship.

Driving long-term supply chain resilience

The potential for long-term impact is substantial. By equipping women with the tools and opportunities they need, supply chains can better withstand challenges like climate change and global disruptions.

Initiatives like Advancing Women for Resilient Agricultural Supply Chains not only close gender gaps but also build stronger, more adaptive networks.

As supply chains evolve to meet modern demands, programmes like this demonstrate that equity and sustainability go hand in hand.

USAID Administrator, Samantha Power, summed it up best: “Empowering women strengthens economies, communities and ecosystems.”

By focusing on supply chains, the partnership tackles some of the most entrenched barriers to progress, creating a ripple effect that benefits industries, families and the planet.
