This study aims to understand the difficulties related to the management of women’s tontine associations in Côte d’Ivoire, more specifically in the department of Katiola. Indeed, tontines represent a powerful tool for financial empowerment for women thanks to flexibility in collective contributions. Thus, the study used quantitative and qualitative methods, including a questionnaire addressed to tontine women and interviews with local authorities and financial structures. This study took into account data collected from desk research and field surveys. The field survey questioned 334 tontine farms surveyed in eleven (11) localities of the Department of Katiola. The results reveal that 92.20% have not received any literacy training. As far as poultry farming techniques are concerned, only 5.70% have been trained. Also, tontines (64.40%) have followed other types of training not specified in the data provided. In addition, they also have to face several difficulties, including recurrent disputes in tontine associations, difficult access to credit for tontines from formal financial structures, the risk of mismanagement and difficulties in the management of funds. In addition, with the emergence of the Village Associations for Employment and Cooperation (VSLAs), the Support Fund for Women of Côte d’Ivoire (FAFCI) and the IFEF (Institute for Training and Women’s Education), financial and social assistance is provided to effectively manage tontine structures.
