<p>Le Programme pour la Compétitivité Commerciale et l’Accès Aux Marchés - Composante Afrique Centrale (ATCMA) est une initiative majeure visant à renforcer le commerce durable entre les pays d'Afrique centrale et l'Union européenne. Financé par l'UE et mis en oeuvre par l'ITC et l'ONUDI, ce programme de 48 mois vise à améliorer l'accès aux marchés pour certaines chaînes de valeur et à accroître la compétitivité à l'exportation des PME dans ces secteurs. Il cherche également à réduire les obstacles commerciaux, à renforcer la conformité aux normes de qualité, et à promouvoir la valeur ajoutée et la diversification des exportations. En priorisant les entreprises dirigées par des femmes et des jeunes, l'ATCMA vise à promouvoir l'inclusion économique et à encourager des pratiques commerciales durables. Avec un budget total de 26 millions d'euros, l'ITC et l'ONUDI coordonneront la mise en œuvre avec divers partenaires africains pour maximiser l'impact régional du programme.</p>

République Centrafricaine: Programme d’appui à la promotion de l’entreprenariat en milieu urbain et rural (PAPEUR)

Body
Agropastoral entrepreneurship in Central African Republic
ITC's PAPEUR Rural project provides technical assistance to the entire agricultural value chain in three selected sectors: corn, village palm oil and poultry. ITC works with young and small-scale farmers on three levels, production, processing and marketing, to improve the productivity and competitiveness of all economic actors involved.
The project will directly benefit the 12,000 identified producers, but also the 42,700 potential employees of the cooperatives. In addition, the number of indirect beneficiaries who depend on these productions is estimated at over 200,000.
The objectives of PAPEUR Rural are to network agricultural actors and strengthen cooperatives. To this end, the project offers technical training, supports the development of organizational and entrepreneurial capacities, and provides agricultural equipment.
To achieve these objectives, practical strategic partnerships have been established, including with private sector processing actors, based on the 'contract farming' approach. This enables ITC to promote productive agreements between farmers and agribusiness or marketing companies for the production and supply of agricultural products.
PAPEUR Rural also supports regulatory reforms in the agricultural sector to improve the business environment.

Sub-Saharan Africa
Body
While multi-dimensional poverty remains high in sub-Saharan Africa, the continent's high growth rates and youthful demographics make it an attractive investment destination. Big opportunities exist to create jobs, boost incomes and reduce poverty by connecting African small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to international trade and increasing local value addition to Africa’s assets in agrifood, manufacturing and services. ITC’s emphasis on digital connectivity and the green transition is helping transform digital landscapes across Sub Saharan Africa with our support to tech startups and tech hubs.
