HALDI POTTI AS THE TARGET AUDIENCE The women's group Haldi Potti is the main beneficiary of a project implemented by a Peace Corps volunteer and will serve as the host for this assignment. The group is comprised of 155 women Economic Interest Group (GIE) members, all are farmers and processors of fonio, corn, and peanut. By having formed a GIE, they became an onsite buyer. Each woman in the group, as well as other fonio growers, mango garden holders, collectors of wild fruits (shea nuts and baobab) living in Ségou can now sell crops to the group without having to go to Kedougou and face the cost of transport. The group owns fonio and peanut butter processing machines that reduces the workload of women. The stakeholders of this project are 12 people including 10 women. There is one president of the group and two assistants distributed in each of the districts. Their main role is to mobilize women around project activities, to inform them of meetings and work schedules. There are also 6 sales managers divided between 3 buyers and 3 sellers, and a person in charge of external relations who is at the same time the project leader chosen by the women and in charge of coordinating the activities of the project. Finally, there is the accounting secretary and the treasurer responsible for tracing the accounts and ensuring the sound financial management of the project.
