Serious Shea
At Serious Shea we empower 500 women cooperative groups in sustainable shea and mango processing providing livelihood and contributing to the Great Green Wall. Without sustainable economic opportunities, food security, and environmental benefits for the local communities, accelerated deforestation will continue and the new plantations will end up in charcoal.
The 5-10 year Project vision is to create a network of eco-villages across the Great Green Wall with clean energy processing centers at the heart of the zero-waste eco-community which restores, manages and protects its natural parkland.
Women producer shareholders in shea and dry mango processing are supported through a Foundation which collects, monitors, and analyses linked data, provides advice and addresses feedback mechanisms for achieving the priority SDG contributions, creates value chain and other partnerships, and addresses local and global wants and needs which arise as the Project evolves. The Project timeline works back from the goal of achieving mainstream finance and investment by 2030. The Project is already working with finance and investment strategy and tool innovators to design public-private partnership frameworks, a scaled-up investment profile, and incorporate investment tool innovations such as sustainability-linked bonds.
