The training also benefited from the support of Candide To©, who provided his expertise in marketing, particularly on the promotion and marketing of local products.

Speaking next, the promoter indicated that "It is in line with the Head of State's vision that we took the initiative to undertake this training, because it is primarily up to us to promote ourselves."
