Transforming local ingredients into value-added products also means turning knowledge into business opportunities.
At the Rural Transformation Center (CTR), the new Pastry Training Programme focuses on preparing cakes, pastries, and savoury products, making use of local ingredients such as groundnuts (ginguba) while encouraging creativity, innovation, and dietary diversification.
Beyond developing technical skills, this initiative empowers women, young people, and entrepreneurs to create and market their own products, fostering entrepreneurship, income generation, and economic independence.
By building on local resources and talent, we are helping to stimulate rural economies, strengthen communities, and promote more inclusive and sustainable development.
