  May 4, 2025


The CDN Association works to promote agricultural jobs among farmers in the province of Cibitoke. These initiatives are carried out within the framework of its agricultural project, which aims in particular at reducing rural poverty and increasing rural employment as an alternative to rural exodus, the improvement of existing rural jobs, particularly in agriculture, and the creation of self-employment opportunities in agriculture.

The project aims to know and disseminate good practices and solutions in agriculture, support farmers to access agricultural finance and build human capacity in creating and enhancing employment and entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector.

Indeed, there are facilities, although less known, that could serve as a lever to promote employment for farmers in the province of Cibitoke. It is the existence of the CDN Association and its agricultural project that supports the employability of these farmers.
The agricultural sector has also been singled out by the CDN Association as one of the key sectors for employment among farmers in Cibitoke province because it has been attracting investors for some time. This is an area where the bulk of investment is directed.
However, there is no shortage of surmountable challenges.

The agricultural sector has some obstacles in the provinces Those already identified by the CDN Association are, among others, the predominance of the informal sector in the agricultural sector, the insufficiency of investments oriented towards the agricultural sector, difficult access for farmers to credit from financial institutions and many climatic hazards in the agricultural sector not only difficult to control but also without risk coverage due to lack of agricultural insurance.

All members of the CDN Association agree on one thing: promoting the employability of farmers is more than a necessity in Cibitoke province. However, this requires a multi-faceted investment to make the most of it. That’s why the CDN Association is engaged on more foreheads to collect the funds to win this bet.
 
Finally, agriculture offers broad and sustainable employment opportunities, and by empowering smallholder farmers, the CDN Association can unlock the sector’s potential to fight unemployment and boost economic growth.
