Assessing The Economic Empowerment Potential Of Agricultural Training For Farm Women: Insights From Farming Communities In Bangladesh
Main Article Content
Abstract
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Bangladesh provide agricultural training facilities for rural women borrowers. The prime objective of this study was to measure the impact of agricultural training programs on the household income and food expenditure of the borrowers. The target group of this study was the landless and marginal women borrowers who received agricultural training from NGOs. The PSM results demonstrated that the agricultural training programs had no impact on the living standards of the borrowers. The primary factor contributing to the unfavorable outcome was the provision of short-term training without conducting a comprehensive assessment of the women borrowers' needs.
