Published purpose

The Land Use and Economic Development of the Niayes Region Program (also known as PADEN in French) aims to increase the income of producers (both women and men) through the development of horticulture and forestry, by enhancing the productive potential of the Niayes region through innovation, entrepreneurship and the development of the provision of quality services. The project focuses on the onion, potato, carrot, cabbage and filao wood sectors, and targets horticultural and forestry producers (about 6,000 men and 3,000 women) and their organizations. The Program is structured around two components: 1) support for horticultural and agro forestry development, with funding for innovative business plans initiated by producers (both women and men) through the Economic Development Window (GDE), and 2) strengthening of support mechanisms and services for producers (both women and men), with financial support for support stakeholders (producers’ apex association, national directorates and agencies, research institutions, local communities in the region).
