Agricultural Training and Regional Development


The CAAS provides women with skills in sustainable agriculture and supports infrastructure projects that strengthen the surrounding region.

What is CAAS?


The CAAS is an agricultural training and production center located in southern Mali.
It provides women with training in sustainable agriculture and promotes the development of rural communities in the Mandé region.
In addition to a six-month basic course for around 60 to 80 trainees at a time, the center offers continuing education programs for women’s cooperatives and supports projects that foster village and regional development – including access to drinking water and solar energy, cooperatively managed community gardens, and the construction of schools.
