IMPROVING LIVELIHOODS THROUGH AGRO-PROCESSING
In partnership with Platforme Nationale du Commerce Equitable Burkina Faso (PNCE-B) and COPRONOS, a local shea and nut co-operative, a 12-month value addition project was successfully implemented to enhance the resilience of 50 female shea nut collectors in southern Burkina Faso.

IMPACT INSIGHTS
This project involved providing agro-processing training and tools to 40 participants, enabling them to transform shea nuts into butter and soap.
The project extended support to a further 10 women in the production of soumbala, a popular local spice made from the seeds of the néré tree, renowned for its high protein and dietary mineral content.
