- Reinforce the professional qualifications of the agricultural workforce through trainings offering all necessary technical skills
- Developing private and collective services for farmers and for the other stakeholders in the agricultural and rural development sectors
- Developing commercial flows for handicraft products
Activities

- Organize training sessions to improve the skills of the local actors
