Shea Seeds: The AAK Kolo Nafaso Program

Designing sustainable supply chains


 

Description

This immersive experience takes learners to the Shea Belt in south Saharan Western Africa where 4 million (mostly) women earn their livelihood from picking and processing Shea seeds. Shea butter has become a key ingredient in cosmetics as well as in the confectionary industry. However, traditional supply chains left very little value in the hands of the women who gather and process the shea, earning the equivalent of less than 1USD per day, while middlemen enjoyed all the proceedings and rise in demand. 

Learners will be exposed and play an active role in how to transform outdated forms of commerce and supply chain management into more sustainable, as well as fair. Exposed to a very successful project developed by AAK, a global leader in shea processing and trade. Participants will learn how to think strategically to create value for all stakeholders in the value chain.
