End of leadership and personal development training for producers in Mayo Kebbi Est. These training workshops are part of the activities of the pre-incubatio phase of the Projet d'Amélioration des Services Ruraux au Tchad par le Développement de l'Agri Entrepreneuriat : Phase Pilote. They took place from March 15 to 17, 2023 in Gounou-Gaya, Djodo-Gassa and Bellé, and brought together 124 rural producers from all over the Cotontchad de la Kabbia factory zone. We believe that the greatest capital for an entrepreneur is his or her person, hence the need to invest in that person for the benefit of the business. Moreover, when an entrepreneur invests in his personal development, his employees will have more confidence in him; and they can easily adhere to the company's vision and consequently work even harder for the company. That's why the project begins its support of growers by laying a solid foundation through leadership and personal development training workshops, enabling growers to have a precise and personalized vision of their own and their company's future.
The modules developed during these three days of training enabled producers to Discover themselves and their potential Challenge themselves and exploit their potential to develop their entrepreneurial activities. Define visions for their businesses, set SMART objectives and give themselves the means to achieve them Personal development tools have been made available to all producers, and entrepreneurship facilitators will use these tools to monitor producers' growth throughout the pre-incubation phase. Of the 124 producers supported in the pre-incubation phase, 50 will be selected for the incubation phase, which will last 6 months.
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 micro-businesses in the target provinces of Logone Oriental and Mayo Kebbi Est.
