SONGHAI provides training and network opportunities for young agricultural entrepreneurs and farmers. The SONGHAI model emphasizes the use of farming methods that can protect the natural resources and the environment in the agro-ecological zones of Benin. They also use bio-processing methods to add value for local producers, by utilizing plant and animal by-products to produce bioenergy. The SONGHAI model has been taken up by 15 other African countries so far, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme.
This case study has been created as part of Footprints Africa's work to build a comprehensive open-source database of circular economy initiatives in Africa. We are doing this in collaboration with the African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), as part of our programme to support the circular economy transition in Africa.
