"Indeed, female entrepreneurship is more present in agri-food processing. Processing activities concern all agricultural speculations, livestock, fishing, and forest products. We can affirm that Niger's agro-sylvo-pastoral and fishing products are subject to processing, and to varying degrees. However, as you pointed out, production equipment and processes are most often artisanal and the actions predominantly manual. This means that the quality of the products cannot be fully guaranteed, even if these women have a good command of the production processes."
"Before talking about women's entrepreneurship, I would first like to recall that the National Women's Day of Niger is the result of the struggle of Nigerien women who felt marginalized during the preparations for the 1991 National Sovereign Conference of the Nation's Vital Forces. This movement, in itself, shows the extent to which women were absent from decision-making spheres. And as the saying goes, "only struggle pays off." Today, things are moving because Nigerien women are present wherever duty calls citizens. And this on all issues affecting the socio-economic and political development of our country. We can say that the 1991 movement liberated women, unleashed their energy at all levels, whether political or economic."
"Nigerien women must become aware of their ability to work for the sustainable development of our country. We must be aware that the Niger of tomorrow cannot be built without our contribution."
"Therefore, I appeal to my Nigerian sisters: let us assume our role as mothers, wives, and above all, responsible citizens through proactive attitudes geared toward the bright future of our country. Let us not accept the role of mere spectators of policies or programs that affect our own future and that of our children."
