Based on its experience as a regional feminist media outlet and its previous work with We Effect, LatFem proposes to consolidate a sustained process that promotes profound cultural change around feminist communication, with an intersectional and territorial approach. The project is based on lessons learned from previous training and exchange experiences, which demonstrated both the potential and the limitations of virtual spaces. In this new stage, the aim is to ‘jump off the screen’ to strengthen presence, promoting dialogue, active listening and territorial relevance. This approach will allow feminist narratives to be anchored in specific communities, expanding LatFem's advocacy capacity beyond the digital sphere. It also seeks to regionalise and deepen the work of the Narrative Change team, consolidating LatFem as an organisation with regional political influence, especially in Central America, and linked to feminist and grassroots networks. The proposal also incorporates a thematic expansion, integrating the themes of care economy and access to housing into the communication agendas, in line with We Effect's regional priorities. This will make it possible to link feminist and climate struggles with fundamental social rights that are under dispute in Latin America. Finally, the project aims to strengthen its monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) mechanisms to more accurately measure the impact of actions, overcome the limitations of digital technology and ensure verifiable, sustainable and territorially traceable transformation processes.

Rwenzori region, is implementing the Women in Coffee, Food Security and Economic Development (WICOFED) project to address long-standing barriers faced by women coffee farmers. Although women contribute most of the labour, they continue to experience limited land ownership, restricted control over income, and low participation in decision-making. These gender inequalities are compounded by low productivity, ageing coffee trees, limited access to inputs, weak post-harvest handling, climate pressures, and dependence on middlemen who suppress farm-gate prices. The WICOFED project seeks to strengthen Isebwe into a competitive, gender-responsive agribusiness. It will equip women and youth with agronomic skills, inputs, and organisational capacity to improve yields, produce specialty coffee, and access higher-value markets. The project will further promote climate-smart practices, diversify household incomes, and enhance food security through integrated cropping systems. Expected results include increased productivity, higher earnings for women, stronger cooperative governance, and more resilient livelihoods across the Mt. Rwenzori coffee belt.

For women—especially women human rights defenders (WHRDs)—secure, dignified livelihoods are essential for sustained civic and political engagement. Strengthening cooperatives with gender-responsive governance and business-and-human-rights safeguards can transform them into platforms for women's economic empowerment and leadership. Amid a rapidly shrinking civic space, WHRDs face gendered risks that threaten their activism. Economic resilience, psychosocial well-being, and strong feminist networks are therefore critical. By integrating femtorship and leadership development into livelihood initiatives, the project addresses both material needs and the structural barriers that limit women's participation and voice. The Hub, serving as a gender technical partner to We Effect's programs, will provide tailored gender mainstreaming support to ensure that cooperative and livelihood initiatives are inclusive and rights-based. Strengthening its own pillars—livelihoods, femtorship, safety, and well-being—The Hub will model feminist leadership and movement-building. The project is justified by its alignment with donor priorities (gender equality, business and human rights, sustainable livelihoods), its focus on addressing structural gaps like economic precarity and shrinking civic space, and its ability to leverage institutional expertise while innovating through cooperative support and multimedia advocacy.
