Cassava is a strategic crop in Côte d’Ivoire, playing a key role in food security and serving as a vital source of livelihood for rural populations.

The Cassava Women Empowerment Support Project (PAAF Manioc), implemented in partnership with OCP Africa and the National Agency for Rural Development Support (ANADER), aims to structure the cassava value chain by promoting local processing and enabling women producers to gain access to a genuine lever for sustainable economic development.
