Capacity Building: FC-SSA Trains Women Beneficiaries in Mushroom Production

From August 20th to 21st, 2024, the FC-SSA project organized a training session on edible mushroom production for 10 women. The training was conducted by Azize Boukary, a PhD student at MyTIPS, University of Parakou. Coming from three villages (Tassigourou, Papatia, and Sinaissiré), the participants were trained in substrate selection techniques, pasteurization, inoculation, and given a brief explanation of seed production. Highly committed and determined, these women paid attention to the training, which offers them a new income-generating activity while helping to reduce poverty and gender inequalities. It is important to note that this training is part of a series of training initiated by the FC-SSA project.
