The FARMADA network supports young people in the face of rural development through training and support, a system of grouping together trainers in the rural production sector.

They are implementing additional projects, which bear their name: "Multi-actor initiative for the improvement of training services and the promotion of local micro-entrepreneurs".

A ten-month project dedicated to more than 200 young people who have dropped out of school. Thirty percent of targeted beneficiaries must be women.

Along with the general rural development program of the State and the training of young people for the development of the rural sector, this FARMADA project is currently underway, said Mr. Serge Merison, president of the FARMADA network in Madagascar.

The sector, operated by FARMADA, has suffered the effects of the Covid pandemic, but it is slowly starting to return, said National President Serge Merison.
