Sub-component 2.3 Leather value chain

One of the key achievements under the leather value chain sub-component was the locally
available, reasonable, replicable, and internationally recognized method – zero-defect Static
Flaying Frame (SFF) technology for hides and skins quality improvement was introduced and
upscaled. The Minister of MoFALI participated in person in most of the project interventions
and decided to upscale the supply chain quality improvement actions at national level.
Furthermore, substantial scale of international trainings was conducted for leather industry
stakeholders, especially for tanneries in coordination with UNIDO’s national and international
experts. MALI and AUO played significant roles in delivering the expected results under this
sub component.
