A trade show for woman artisans

- Promoting and developing economic activities of women artisans
- Promoting and strengthening the quality of handicrafts and women's creativity
- Reducing poverty through women’s initiatives
- Promoting cultural and tourist activities in Niger
The sixth edition of the trade show took place in Niamey between October 30 and November 8, 2009.
Adapting to international markets
