NCAM and Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities
Understanding SDG 10
Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG 10) aims to reduce inequality within and among countries. It promotes social, economic, and political inclusion for all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, or economic status.
NCAM’s Commitment to Reducing Inequalities
At the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM), we are committed to addressing inequalities in the agricultural sector by ensuring fair access to mechanization technologies and training. Our initiatives align with the core targets of SDG 10 and focus on empowering underserved and marginalized populations in agriculture.
How NCAM Supports SDG 10
1. Promoting Inclusive Access to Technology
NCAM develops and disseminates appropriate agricultural mechanization technologies tailored to meet the needs of various farming communities. By focusing on smallholder farmers and those in less developed or rural areas, we help bridge the gap in access to efficient farming tools and techniques.
2. Empowering Marginalized Groups
We provide specialized training and support to women, youth, and other marginalized groups to equip them with skills in agricultural mechanization. This empowerment enhances their productivity, increases income opportunities, and fosters inclusion in the agricultural value chain.
3. Enhancing Equitable Agricultural Outcomes
Our technologies are designed to be affordable, adaptable, and effective across different scales of farming. By ensuring these tools are accessible to a wide range of users, NCAM fosters more equitable outcomes in agricultural productivity and rural development.
Alignment with NCAM Activities
NCAM contributes to the achievement of SDG 10 through:
- Developing technologies that cater to the needs of diverse farmer groups
- Promoting inclusive training programs across gender, age, and location
- Supporting equitable development by facilitating access to mechanization
Our Vision
We envision an agricultural sector where every farmer—regardless of their background or location—has equal access to the tools, knowledge, and opportunities needed for success.
NCAM is proud to support the global agenda for sustainable development by championing reduced inequalities through innovation, training, and inclusive agricultural practices.
