- Increased awareness for the women in the shea industry
- Increased awareness for the work of CBI
- Part of an ongoing series of summaries of CBI projects
CBI, part of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries. We frequently write articles for CBI based on interviews with their experts and with entrepreneurs from developing countries. This one is about women’s role in Nigeria’s shea industry.
The sector employs many women. Yet, their position in the industry is vulnerable. An innovative training project in the Nigerian shea industry is opening up a better future for over 1,000 women.
