CMC currently consists of 50 member women's organisations. These organisations are being supported by 7 regional teams of CMC, 1 region still lacks a team which will be formed in 2009. The target group of this project proposal is approximately 1.000 women between 14 and 75 years old. The affiliated women have been classified according to their productive occupation, which can be agricultural production, agricultural processing, textile production, handicrafts and/or cosmetics.

The general objective of the project is to improve the quality of life of the affiliated women by supporting and strengthening their political and organisational capacity, as well as looking for alternatives for social and economic development. Thereby the women should become able to stand up for, and defend their own rights.
