Alépé

The question of the empowerment of women was the heart of the ceremony gifts of the First Lady Dominique Ouattara in Alépé ahead of the state visit of President Alassane Ouattara in the region of Mé. Nearly CFA francs 150 million in-kind donations,  were mostly directed through the empowerment of women. This is the act of solidarity posed by Madame Dominique Ouattara who conquered, Tuesday, May 5, 2015, the heart of the populations of Alépé. They had come in great numbers of the 5 sub-prefectures of the department namely Alépé, Aboisso, Comoé; Danguira; Alosso; Alépé and Oghlwapo to fellowship with the emissary of Mrs. Dominique Ouattara. The yard of the prefecture was so narrow to welcome populations that the the city authorities had finally moved the ceremony inside the Lycé Municipal of Alépé. 

Thus, the First Lady, Mrs. Dominique Ouattara has offered to the people of Alépé donations in cash and kind worth CFA francs 151 million. As part of in-kind donations, she offered equipment and agricultural equipment to women's cooperatives and groups.
