Amza Koudougou: a West African young entrepreneur committed to success

In the Centre-Est region of Burkina Faso where he resides, livestock is the second-largest source of household income. The region ranks fifth among 13 in Burkina Faso in terms of poultry farming, which is largely practised in a traditional way.

In this context, young people's agrifood start-ups are increasing. However, the bankruptcy rate of these businesses is high for several reasons, including the short-lived novelty and competitiveness of the products or services offered.

To solve this problem, the Belgian Development Agency, Enabel, has initiated a programme to support the development of inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurship in the Centre-Est region of Burkina Faso.
