CARE's Mata Masu Dubara in Zinder and Diffa Project's goal is to improve the socioeconomic conditions of
50 000 poor rural women and their ability to secure a better livelihood for themselves and their families by offering them access to a permanent system of savings and credit. The project does not provide financial support, but rather, offers training for groups of women interested in the creation and operation of these savings and credit associations.
It also develops women's capabilities to participate in decision-making at the community and local levels through an
integrated training on rights, decentralization, instructional strengthening, CBO registration and partnership. The project also develops women capacity to network to help them to improve their livelihood and play a role in civil society. The project extends its activities in pastoral area.
