Market women cooperatives
Revolving grants, bulk purchase schemes and cooperative registration for traders in Gusau, Talata Mafara, Kaura Namoda and every LGA market.
§ Women Wing
Women are not a side programme. They are the centre.
The Women Wing operates its own state, LGA and ward structures across all 147 wards of Zamfara State, and women form the majority of beneficiaries of every empowerment cycle.
§ Mandate
Economic strength first, political voice next.
The Wing exists to make women in Zamfara economically independent and politically audible. Every ward committee has women officers, every empowerment cycle reserves a majority quota for women, and every register entry is tracked so support reaches real people.
- Majority quota of empowerment slots reserved for women
- Women officers in all 147 ward committees
- Two women mobilizers in every polling unit team
- Dedicated grants window for market women and widows
