DOLI RANCH: Actors in the milk sector at the school of rural entrepreneurship
The Northern Branch of Enda Énergie has just completed a series of training courses for the benefit of the breeders of the Doli ranch. These training courses focused on good hygiene practices in dairy production, entrepreneurship and dairy processing. These exchange workshops, which were held during the month of March 2021, contributed to strengthening the capacities of breeders on entrepreneurship and the management of local micro-enterprises (MIEL), particularly in the milk value chain, on the good hygienic practices in dairy production and dairy processing.
These few days of sharing were also an opportunity to identify projects on the milk value chain in the ranch area, to better understand the success factors as well as the aspects to improve in implementation. At the end of these training workshops, the 97 beneficiaries took advantage of the presence of GIZ, the northern branch of ENDA ENERGIE, to advocate for the Ranch.
Moreover, the head of “Réussir au Senegal” in Saint-Louis, Mr. Aly BEN ABDALAH, promised to support the actors of the ranch during the second phase. “Enda Energie told us that there is a lot of potential here. Initially we wanted to do a much more substantial action at the Ranch, but the time did not allow it. We are starting a second phase from October and probably the Doli ranch will have activities through Enda Energie” underlined Mr. Aly Ben, during the closing ceremony of this series of workshops.
PROGRES-LAIT Plus, supported by GIZ, aims to strengthen the achievements of PROGRES LAIT (Milk and Solar Energy Value Chain Program) and aims to strengthen the professionalization of small businesses and the development of the market for solar and dairy products. The first phase placed particular emphasis on social engineering training of small producers in Hygiene and milk quality, support/coaching of cooperative societies through the establishment of market deployment systems for solar and dairy products. , communication and capitalization of good practices. The PROGRES Lait Plus program is also implemented in the Kolda region, the other PROGRES-Lait intervention zone.
