The CFA Baking Academy, a free training program by Crown Flour Mill (CFM) Limited, Olam Agri’s wheat milling and pasta business, equips women with baking and business management skills, empowering them to build sustainable livelihoods. Graduates undergo rigorous training, including certification through the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), and now benefit from added support through a partnership with the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN).

 

Bola Adeniji, General Manager and Head of Marketing at Olam Agri in Nigeria, underlined the initiative’s impact: “With Nigeria’s population evenly split between genders, empowering women is crucial to bridging the poverty gap. This baking academy is a significant step towards women achieving their entrepreneurial dreams. Since 2021, we’ve successfully trained 700 women, a testament to the program’s impact on women’s empowerment.”
