As shown in the table above, the NGO PASYD has carried out activities to promote entrepreneurship among various targets in line with its "Improving the income of poor and vulnerable populations" axis.
The NGO's entrepreneurship promotion activities with unemployed graduates and the unemployed have allowed them to access income. All the young entrepreneurs selected in the sample of our study said they benefited from PASYD's supervision. They all created small businesses and are all self-employed. We visited a total of 50. Cécile NOUGBOLO, a Restorer said: "Before, I did not trust myself and only looked for work. Since my entrepreneurship training, I have been able to create a restaurant. At first I waited for the customers to come and eat at my place. I had 4 to 6 a day. With the support of PASYD, I will personally look for clients in the small businesses that surround me (bank branches, microfinance, shops etc ...) and everything is fine now. I welcome 30 - 50 clients a day and I develop the catering service ".
The promotion of entrepreneurship among craftsmen has enabled many of them to create businesses or transform their workshops into businesses. The difference observed among young artisans who have become entrepreneurs lies largely in the state of mind with which the craftsman approaches the exercise of his profession. Those of them who had already created a workshop or carried out their trades at home before PASYD's support unanimously affirmed that they handled their trades naivety and passivity. This way of doing things did not allow them to make a living. They say that what they have acquired the most is aggression, that is to say the provocation of the market with the proposal of innovative products. Emmanuel YAKPE, a young boilermaker said, "If the market does not come, I'll go to the market. I have not been out of business since I understood and my turnover has more than doubled. "
Support for economic interest groups and cooperatives has helped beneficiaries improve their incomes. In the case of artisans, some of whom already had workshops before benefiting from the programs of PASYD, many testimonies were received concerning the improvement of production and income.
The NGO also, in collaboration with the state supported thirty village communities with the installation of multifunctional Platforms (PTFM). A mechanism for providing access to basic energy services, the PTFM is a social enterprise that is operated by a cooperative group as a company whose profits contribute to improving the living conditions of the farmers while providing prospects for new economic activities in the area. the communities. The establishment of the PTFM has indeed contributed to improving the villagers' incomes and better living conditions in the beneficiary communities.
