Impact of Attieke’s Manufacture in Koffikro in Bouaké City (Côte d'Ivoire)

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the determinants of the manufacture of attieke (cassava couscous) and the health problems brought about this job. Bouaké is an illustration because of the existence of so many places of production of this food. This is the case particularly observed in Koffikro, our field of investigation, located not far from Bouaké. The study (qualitative and quantitative) presents the results of the field. The activity is a source of wealth and participates in the socio-cultural life of women engaged in work. This interest in the manufacture of attieke has caused recurrent health problems, due to the low standard of living and the lack of supervision, hence the need for a deconstruction of employment policy.
