In a significant move to support women’s economic empowerment in Niger, the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) has established a cutting-edge Regional Packaging and Production Workshop in Niamey, the capital city.
The workshop, set up in collaboration with the Nayaba Women Manufacturers Association, aims to enhance the participation of women manufacturers in Niger’s industrial production processes.
The facility has been equipped with modern machinery, training classrooms, boutique spaces, and additional production areas, enabling women producers to process, package, and label their products more efficiently.
The project has already shown promising results, with the daily peanut oil production capacity increasing from 50 liters to 60 liters per hour.
Rabi Arzika, President of the Nayaba Women Manufacturers Association, expressed her gratitude to the Republic of Türkiye and the Turkish people for their invaluable support.
The Regional Packaging and Production Workshop is expected to benefit hundreds of women producers across Niamey, reducing time and labor losses in agricultural production and packaging, and ultimately helping to prevent market losses.
