Abstract:
In Sub-Saharan African countries in general and in Benin in particular, producer organizations
play an important role in the realization of socio-community infrastructure. This research
examines the contribution of producers' organizations to the realization of socio-community
infrastructure in the commune of Banikoara.
The methodological approach adopted is based on documentary research, field surveys, data
processing and analysis of results using the SWOT model. Within the framework of this
research, 250 people were surveyed.
The research revealed that the commune of Banikoara has 228 producer organizations spread
throughout the commune. These producer organizations mobilize funds for the construction of
socio-community infrastructure. 98% of the socio-community infrastructure built in the
municipality of Banikoara is financed by producers' organizations. However, these producers'
organizations face difficulties that limit their contribution to the construction of sociocommunity infrastructure. These difficulties include a lack of technical supervision, poor
governance, and abandonment or failure to carry out the work. Faced with this situation, it is
important to work on the organization of other agricultural sectors. Similarly, the communal
authorities must commit to working in symbiosis with producers and help them achieve their
goals. |
