The Global Shea Alliance (GSA), EOS (Evolution of Smooth) Products, and non-profit Water for West Africa (WfWA) have partnered to empower women shea processors in Northern Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. The initiative works to improve access to clean water, quality infrastructure, sustainable livelihoods, and equitable value chains. The program is designed to strengthen the capacity of 12,000 women in shea kernel and butter processing by enhancing product quality, creating jobs, and enabling greater private sector investment in women-led cooperatives.
