Support project for the integration of rural young agripreneurs (Agri-jeunes Tekki Ndawñi)

The Tekki Ndawñi Agri-Youth program is a nationwide initiative designed to respond massively to the problem of unemployment and underemployment among young people in rural areas. Its intervention strategy is based on the agri-entrepreneurship paradigm: transforming subsistence farming into a profitable and modern entrepreneurial activity. By specifically targeting agricultural, forestry, pastoral, and fisheries value chains, the project aims to build a favorable ecosystem where young rural people have access not only to land and financing, but also to the technical and managerial skills necessary to sustain their businesses. The goal is to shift from a social assistance model to one of sustainable economic investment.
