Together with Louvain Coopération and financed by the AJF Foundation, GEL Sud Bénin has developed a project to support literacy and vocational training for women cassava processors organized in cooperatives, known as the ALPHA Project.
This support helps the women of 6 cooperatives in terms of organization, management, governance, management and product marketing (product quality, marketing, commercial negotiation and contracting).
