Nuru Burkina Faso trains agricultural cooperative leaders in Kourwéogo
Cooperative leaders from Bazèga and Kourwéogo met in Tindatenga to swap methods on organic fertiliser and soybean growing and processing.
Nuru Burkina Faso (NBF) held a meeting on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in Tindatenga, in the commune of Boussé, for the board members of agricultural cooperatives in its network. The event aimed to strengthen their organisational and operational capacities and the cohesion between the groups. Cooperative leaders came from Bazèga province and several communes of Kourwéogo province.
Sévérin Sama, a member of NBF's executive bureau, said the activity forms part of a continuing effort to improve the cohesion and professionalism of the network. He said some member cooperatives have proven practices in governance, stock management, loan recovery, resilience and the inclusion of women, and that less experienced groups could learn from them. Community agents, agricultural service representatives and partner associations also took part.
Kabré Zouma Sawadogo of the Wend la Songda cooperative described the benefits of organic manure for soil fertility and for sale as a natural fertiliser. Nabaloum Yacouba, from Kombissiri, shared his cooperative's experience growing soybeans, which can be sold raw or processed. Idrissa Compaoré presented options for adding value to soybeans through processing. The session was led by the activity coordinator, Renaud B. Nagalo.
Why it mattersCooperative members who attended can apply the soybean and organic fertiliser methods shared at the meeting to their own production and sales.
