01Overview

A five-day applied immersion for practitioners: from Dakar — APA’s continental hub — to Saint-Louis, participants deploy the APA toolkit hands-on alongside UEMOA compliance leaders, OHADA practitioners and cooperative networks, assembling certification-grade evidence for a real entity.

02Purpose

Move practitioners from observation to practice — deploying APA diagnostics and mandates with local partners.

03Strategic Context

CSDDD/AGOA buyers need certified Francophone-West-African suppliers. This Practitioner journey builds the applied competence to deliver that certification pipeline.

04Expected Outcomes

  • Certification-grade evidence assembled for a live entity.
  • A co-designed grievance mechanism (MGG) session delivered.
  • A σ-leakage baseline mapped for a real value chain.

05Objectives

Apply APA diagnostics (C-SPA, MAE, trust audit) in a live context.
Co-run a grievance-mechanism design session with a community.
Assemble certification-grade evidence for a real entity.
Map local-sourcing and σ-leakage in practice.
