Overview
The EIF/ITC “Project to Improve the Competitiveness of Senegalese Mangos (PICSM)” lasted from August 2015 to March 2018. The project aimed to strengthen the competitiveness of Senegalese mangos and related manufactured products on the international market, to increase the contribution of the mango industry to socioeconomic development and poverty reduction in Senegal. This EIF-funded project was jointly implemented by ITC and the government of Senegal.
The review concludes that the project had some positive effects on the capabilities of individuals involved in the mango value chain, through training sessions and technical advice, and on some aspects of trade capacity, such as quality of production (through the improvement of agricultural and transformation practices) and identification of potential export markets.
