UNIDO's project in Mali helps women in a poor distant area produce organic shea butter and export tons for further processing in Europe, as part of a consortium with a French cosmetic company. The skills increased with UNIDO's assistance reduce poverty, help local children attend school instead of working with their parents and open the gate of international trade to the women's cooperative in the small village of Dioila.
