At the end of the training on agroecological practices of the project: Multiversité agroécologique des peuples internationaux: renforcement du mouvement agroécologique à travers des champs d’apprentissages et plaidoyer politique, a ceremony to award the certificate consecrating the end of the training was organized by PAN Africa on March 10, 2024 at the Institut Firdawsi Islamique de Beer (Niayes, Senegal).
The ceremony was attended by the village chief’s representative, the trainer Mr. Diakhaté, the facilitator Mr. Pape Abdoulaye Diouf, the imam, village notables, the PAN Africa team, the G.I.E of the villages of Keur Matar and Ndame Lo, and all the recipients.
As an alternative to agricultural pesticides, agroecological practices are the solution par excellence for human health, the environment and biodiversity. After the imam’s prayers, the opening address was delivered by Mr. Ibra GNING, PAN Africa’s Project Manager, who spoke of the importance of the project, agroecology, the satisfactory results obtained and the partnership between PAN Africa and the farmers of the Niayes area in general.
Next, Amadou DIAKHATE and Abdoulaye DIOUF, trainer and facilitator respectively, said they were proud to have contributed to the project, and thanked the participants for their unfailing commitment and the PAN Africa team for their sincere support.
As for the recipients, they were delighted with the training, while warmly congratulating the PAN Africa NGO on the beneficial projects it has carried out in their locality. With the knowledge they have acquired, they intend to multiply their knowledge in the area for the benefit of other farmers who have not yet received training of this kind.
All the other speakers, including the village chief’s representative, the imam and the spokespersons for the GIEs of Ndame LO and Keur Matar, who were invited to attend the event, praised PAN Africa’s unfailing support for their locality, and prayed for a lasting partnership between PAN Africa and the farmers of the Niayes zone.
