The certification of organic products in Senegal is mostly done by foreign companies. This is expensive and smallholder families cannot afford it. In cooperation with the Fédération Nationale pour l'Agriculture Biologique (FENAB) and the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), the project is setting up a low-cost, alternative certification system for organically produced products.

Producers carry out the certification process themselves, together with specially trained inspectors, in a participatory process that significantly reduces costs and makes it affordable for small producers. Certification is awarded on the basis of uniform, international IFOAM certification criteria and enables the products to be marketed under the newly established "Bio-Senegal" label on the Senegalese and West African markets. The project provides support for the marketing of certified products and advocates for improved political framework conditions for organic farming in Senegal
