PROJECT (CD4)
2022 – Present
The USAID-funded CD4 program is implemented by Land O’Lakes Venture37, in partnership with GNFF. Its objective is to strengthen food processing cooperatives in the areas of product development, marketing and governance.
Training and coaching sessions are being delivered to 6 processing cooperatives, which were selected after a thorough needs assessment process. Modules include various topics such as cooperative principles, leadership, marketing, financial management, social media management, recipe standardization and food safety.
