GSF Global Advisors, architect of a strategic partnership for an inclusive cashew value chain in Côte d’Ivoire
GSF Global Advisors is proud to have served as strategic advisor to the SME Development Agency (GUDE-PME) and Winrock International / WEECAP—Women’s Economic Empowerment through Cashew Processing—in a structuring initiative for Côte d’Ivoire's cashew sector.
This partnership, launched in January 2026 is central to which GSF played a key role, aims to strengthen Côte d’Ivoire's cashew value chain, with particular emphasis on women's economic empowerment through local processing.
Pivotal role of GSF Global Advisors
GSF Global Advisors led the facilitation and structuring of this partnership, ensuring alignment between public priorities, donor orientations, and private sector execution imperatives. This ability to dialogue institutional, donor, and entrepreneurial logics is a hallmark of GSF's interventions.
By mobilizing its network, sectoral expertise, and deep knowledge of the Ivorian ecosystem, GSF laid the foundations for a structured, sustainable collaboration oriented toward concrete results for sector actors—especially women processors, a key link.
Positioning at the service of governments, donors, and private sector
This initiative illustrates GSF Global Advisors' vocation: providing high-impact consulting solutions to governments, the donor community, and private sector. By uniting these three audiences around a common project, the firm confirms its place as a reference actor in structuring high value-added partnerships for African economic development.
GSF Global Advisors will continue supporting GUDE-PME and Winrock International / WEECAP to translate this partnership into tangible results for the cashew sector, Ivorian enterprises, and beneficiary communities.
