Main goals

As part of the joint project to strengthen COOPAKE through diversification and sustainable technical and agricultural innovation in the province of Kénédougou, COOPAKE, Ethiquable and RONGEAD have decided to form a consortium and submit a joint proposal for the call for projects launched by the Equity Program, implemented by AVSF and PFCE and financed by AFD and FFEM. The consortium is created by the partnership protocol and the agreement between Ethiquable and COOPAKE.

Specific objectives

Diversify COOPAKE’s productions for more added value and income security, through sustainable and agro-ecological production and processing practices

Beneficiaries

The project specifically concerns producers of the cashew, sesame and mango sectors, and marginally hibiscus and shea

Results

R1. The employees and board members are strengthened in their technical, financial and commercial skills, and have a medium-term strategic plan, and the opportunities are diversified
R2. The processing activities (cashew and mango) are consolidated (equipment, finance, quality and outlet), respectful of the environment (renewable energy, waste management and recycling), and increase local employment
R3. The cooperative diversifies its activities by introducing crop combination (sesame and legume in combination with hibiscus and shea), according to the principles of organic production, and reinforces its practices of agro-ecology and agroforestry – which are promoted on demonstration plots
