SIAEL 2024: Many distinctions in perspective for actors in the rural world
The 7th edition of the International Exhibition of Agriculture, Environment and Livestock (SIAEL) organized by the Association for the Development of the Rural World (ADMR) will salute the merit of several actors of the rural world, in the evening of February 24, 2024, on the occasion of the night of awards for actors in the rural world called “Golden Kũuri”.
Agriculture, the environment and livestock are the key sectors on which the countries of the African continent should rely to propel their development. In Burkina Faso, these sectors employ 86% of the population. In order to encourage and create a healthy emulation between the actors, the ADMR is holding the SIAEL for the 7th time from February 20 to 24, 2024, in the rural commune of Komsilga, Kadiogo province, Center region.
In addition to the exhibitions, local food tasting sessions, conferences and B to B meetings, an evening of tribute to the actors of the rural world called “Kũuri d’or” is scheduled for Saturday February 24, 2024.
The ceremony will be sponsored by the first officials of Burkina Faso, and with the involvement of Technical and Financial Partners, NGOs and International Development Associations, technical ministries concerned. These are the Ministers in charge of Agriculture, Livestock and the Environment.
According to Jean Victor Ouédraogo, executive secretary of the Association for the Development of the Rural World (ADMR), promoter of SIAEL, this support of the highest authorities of Burkina Faso for the initiative, testifies to the importance and relevance of this activity which is in line with the current priorities of our socio-economic development.
Celebrate role models
According to Mr. Ouédraogo, the “golden kũuri” (which means daba in the local Moore language) is a privileged framework for rewarding the best players in the rural world, technical and financial partners involved in the sectors of agriculture, farming and the environment. “The recipients of the “Kũuri d’or” are models, examples of success that can impact other players in their respective fields,” says Jean Victor Ouédraogo. He adds that the event constitutes a mirror for each actor and arouses in him a constant need for a continuous and positive transformation of his activity.
The executive secretary of the ADMR points out that the “Golden Kũuri” includes nine (09) official prizes including three “golden kũuri”, three “silver kũuri” and three “bronze kũuri” and around twenty special prices.
Eight months from SIAEL, the ADMR is engaged in a race against time to mobilize resources in order to promote excellence in the rural world. Thus Jean Victor Ouédraogo, Commissioner General of SIAEL launches an urgent appeal to political decision-makers (government, Legislative Assembly of the Transition, special delegations, among others), to the private sector (Banks, Microfinance Institutions, Insurance, service providers of services) and to the Technical and Financial Partners. It is also counting on NGOs and international development associations, professionals in agriculture, livestock and the environment to balance the budget in relation to the 7th edition of SIAEL.
After six editions, the International Fair, Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral of Komsilga (FIKOM) changed name to become the International Exhibition of Agriculture, Environment and Livestock (SIAEL). This change of name responds to the need to readjust certain aspects in order to direct the event towards a format more suited to the new scope that the promoters wish to give it.
The competitions for the selection of the best actors in the rural world are open.
