As ARISE expands across Africa, the Foundation moves beyond standalone initiatives to deliver integrated, measurable impact at scale.<\/h3>\n

In the villages around Bouafl\u00e9, the work begins in the fields. Women grow tomatoes and aubergines that can be sold fresh. They organize collection, share transport, and send them to markets in Abidjan, where other women take over to sell.<\/p>\n

But cassava is different. It cannot be sold as it is. It must be transformed. And for years, that transformation was a struggle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used manual presses. It was very hard [\u2026] you finish with blisters in your hands,\u201d says Madame Iri\u00e9, President of the\u00a0<\/em>F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Ivoirienne des Coop\u00e9ratives pour une Agriculture Innovante (FICAGRI)<\/em><\/p>\n

For Madame Iri\u00e9, these challenges are part of daily reality. She has worked alongside these women for years building something collective across production, transport, and sales.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column el_class=”right” offset=”vc_col-lg-6″][vc_single_image image=”1010″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row_content” el_class=”Briefs Alter”][vc_row el_class=”container StoryBox”][vc_column el_class=”left” offset=”vc_col-lg-6″][vc_single_image image=”1006″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Through SheRise, ARISE Foundation\u2019s flagship women entrepreneurship programme, women like her are strengthening how they work and grow.<\/h3>\n

Across C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, 53<\/strong> women entrepreneurs completed 74<\/strong> hours of training in leadership, financial literacy, supply chains, marketing, and branding. Together, they mobilised 33<\/strong> loans, unlocking FCFA 20.5<\/strong> million in credit through Baobab and Fin\u2019Elle.<\/p>\n

This work is delivered in partnership with Fondation SEPHIS and supported by German Cooperation through GIZ\u2019s InvestForJobs initiative, as part of the West African Women Initiative.<\/p>\n

At the cooperative level, support from Afriland First Bank is helping remove a key barrier. With new equipment and training, cassava can now be processed faster, with less effort, and with greater consistency.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column el_class=”bottomLine”][vc_column_text css=””]\u201cWith what we received today, our work will be easier [\u2026] it is the first big support we have received.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI give them one month to come back and see what the women of FICAGRI can do. They will come and taste the atti\u00e9k\u00e9 of C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because when women rise together with the right tools and partners they transform effort into lasting opportunity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
