Improving Rural Services in Chad through Agri-Entrepreneurship Development: Pilot Phase

Official launch of the Projet d'Amélioration des Services Ruraux au Tchad par le Développement de l'Agri Entrepreneuriat : Phase Pilote on the morning of February 23, 2023 at Doba in Logone Oriental in the presence of the Secretary General of the Province representing His Excellency the Governor of the said province.

The launch began with testimonials from some of the province's entrepreneurial initiatives. In these testimonials, the promoters briefly presented the products and services they sell, their visions, the challenges they face and their expectations of the project.

Next, the Managing Director of Job Booster Chad, the project's implementing partner, took the floor to present the project being launched. The Improving Rural Services through Agri-Entrepreneurship Development project is a joint initiative of IDH and CotonTchad, and is one of the initiatives of the Landscape Platform, whose vision is to strengthen the resilience of rural producers to various economic, social and climatic shocks through three pillars: Production, Protection and Inclusion.

The project aims to strengthen the resilience of rural producers by diversifying their sources of income. In concrete terms, the project will support 100 rural producers in the creation/structuring and management of agricultural and non-agricultural microenterprises in the target provinces of Logone Oriental and Mayo Kebbi Est. This support includes training in personal development and leadership; training in entrepreneurship, including personalized business coaching; training in local product processing and marketing techniques; and investment preparation for the micro-businesses that will be supported. All this support will be offered through the Business Support Centre located in Doba and managed by an entrepreneurship facilitator. In his speech, the Managing Director emphasized that the project is designed to support existing entrepreneurial initiatives and to help them become more productive and competitive.

The Secretary General of the Logone Oriental Province, prior to his opening address, invited all the project's beneficiary producers to introduce themselves and their activities; this was an opportunity for the Governor's representative to appreciate the nature and scope of the entrepreneurial initiatives supported by the project. At the end of this exercise, he reminded everyone how important their effective involvement in this project is for the economic development of Logone Oriental. He then praised the initiative, thanking IDH, Cotontchad and Job Booster Chad Entreprise, and pledged the support of the local authorities for the successful completion of the project's activities.

In a convivial atmosphere, the project launch ceremony ended with a family photo. Relive the highlights of the ceremony in pictures.
