Soybean POs supported by 2SCALE were progressively linked to small local processors, like CTAE and women processors producing soy-products for street vendors and local restaurants. These processors have become the drivers of the partnership, which aims to develop markets of soy-based products, as nutritious substitutes to meat and innovative BoP food-products (e.g., goussi). Women being key in this partnership (as processors, farmers and retailers), the partnership mainstreams gender throughout its interventions.
