Welcome

The Caribbean Network of Rural Women Producers was launched in July 1999. With support of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA), rural women of Barbados, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago held the first meeting of CANROP in Trinidad, in association with the First Meeting of Wives and Heads of State of the Caribbean. The main goals of the Network are to provide rural women with access to credit for micro-business projects, to contribute to government policies that are sensitive to and supportive of the special needs of rural women producers, to contribute to the elimination of the gender bias in the ownership of land, ensuring that women have the same opportunities as men to own property. The Network also seeks to provide marketing support for rural women producers and to offer training, research, technical support and outreach services.

The Network of Rural Women Producers (NRWP) is the Trinidad & Tobago chapter of CANROP. NRWP has been in existence for the past 11 years. Our current membership consists of groups of rural women throughout Trinidad and Tobago and we are managed by an Executive Committee.
