With its 600 pupils, the varsity in Konioudou is considered one of 70 chosen in three areas (Boucle du Mouhoun, Centre-Sud and Sud-Ouest) to profit from the pilot part of the College Meals with Native Produce for Clever Vitamin Challenge. Funded by Japan and administered by the African Growth Financial institution, this $990,000 venture reinforces the federal government’s initiatives to offer college students with not less than one balanced meal a day.
Launched in 2020 for 2 years, with a one-year extension, the venture helps colleges arrange fields and gardens, and gives them with agricultural, gardening, and cooking gear and inputs. The produce gives meals for the scholars for a couple of weeks. “Final season, greater than 25 tonnes of agricultural produce have been harvested, regardless of poor rainfall,” says Harmless Bamouni, who’s accountable for the venture on the Ministry of Training. Within the gardens, manufacturing continues, and 14 tonnes of produce are anticipated.
