This manual is based on field work undertaken in the project
countries (Ghana and Sierra Leone), and benefited additionally from
the results of a field visit to Senegal. Its special features are:
(a) the target audience consists of government institutions, rural
extension services, financial institutions, women's small-scale
processing enterprises and manufacturing firms; (b) it focuses on
four important processing activities - of cassava, vegetable oil,
coconut and fish - undertaken by rural women in West Africa; (c) it
covers the range of technologies available in the subregion; (d) it
makes a quantitative comparison of the performance of both
traditional and improved technologies and provides information on
the advantages and disadvantages of each; (e) it describes the
basic design features of improved and traditional tools and
equipment, materials and parts required for their fabrication; and
(f) it provides a list of suppliers of such equipment. The
practical value of the manual is enhanced by the inclusion of
information on practical possibilities for the utilization of
agricultural wastes and the by-products of women's processing
activities.
