Agricultural training and professional integration in agricultural development pole no. 4

This project aims to meet the challenges of agricultural vocational training and boost entrepreneurship in the rural areas of PDA 4 (Borgou Sud, Donga and Collines). Using an integrated approach combining training, professional integration and entrepreneurial support, it aims to improve the employability of young people while contributing to the sustainable economic development of Benin.

To achieve this, the project is putting in place effective governance mechanisms, facilitating access to finance and supporting sustainable entrepreneurial initiatives. It then meets the growing needs of the agricultural sector while strengthening the country's resilience in the face of climate challenges.

At the same time, a second component of the project involves the creation of a climate finance unit within Benin's Ministry of Economy and Finance. The unit's mission will be to facilitate Benin's access to financing for climate change adaptation projects.

The Luxembourg funding is a donation of EUR 10,200,000 over a three-year period.
