Context

Demand for hands-on training in rural development trades remains strong, especially for young people and women.

Secured: the project already has a 5-hectare land base. In preparation: design and delivery of the centre (infrastructure, equipment, programmes) — currently seeking partners.

Objectives

  • Contribute to food sovereignty and sustainable rural development
  • Develop an integrated practical training offer (agriculture, livestock, processing, farm management)
  • Provisional target: over time, a training capacity of up to about 400 beneficiaries per year, especially among young people and women
  • Depending on project development and partnerships mobilised, accompanying actions could help support the development of a cumulative area of up to about 800 hectares during implementation (support potential — not current 2ACD property)

Capitalisation & outlook

The Centre is not presented as built or operational. Clear distinction: 5 ha secured · ~400/year = target · ~800 ha = potential support for land development.
