Security challenges and a growing population are contributing to youth unemployment in Burkina Faso. Additionally, gender inequality is hindering women’s economic potential. Despite the increasing demand for poultry as a food source, the country’s poultry sector lacks the capacity to meet this demand.

Tanager’s projects in Burkina Faso are providing job skills and entrepreneurship training to youth while also unlocking the full potential of the country’s poultry value chain.
