Growing cashew enterprises

Our new project, funded by the UK government, aims to:

  • Establish 150 village tree enterprise groups and 1 Co-operative Union.
  • Increase incomes for 3,000 cashew farmers.
  • Increase cashew yields by at least 25% for 3,000 farmers.
  • Increase incomes for 600 honey, legume, and cashew apple farmers.
  • Train 3,000 farmers in Natural Resource Management and silvicultural techniques.
Park W Dosso participants  will receive support to protect the natural resources that they rely on and help to earn a sustainable income from trees.

Restoring Park W in Dosso

Tree Aid started working with communities in Niger's National Park W in July 2018.

Now a new project, funded by The Swedish Postcode Foundation, will expand on that work to protect and restore the environment in a new region of the vast park, which spans over 10,000 km².
