Abstract
This article explores the implementation of an institutional innovation carried out in the agricultural world. By questioning the aspects relating to the creation of the common space for the promotion of local products, the identification of members, the development of the operating and governance strategy, the implementation of this space, monitoring and administration of advice to cooperators, the author aims to present an innovation that contributes to the empowerment of women processors of local agricultural products. This requires both primary and secondary data to be collected. The results obtained draw their source from the field survey which used techniques (documentary research and semi-directed interview) and a tool (interview grid) for data collection. The data collected was analyzed using rational choice theory.
Keywords: Organization, implementation, common space, promotion of local products, empowerment of women processors
