This case study focus on women involvement into groups of production of shea butter, created for large scale market activity. These groups are presented by various support organizations and advisors as new spaces for collective action providing the opportunity for women to claim their expertise and to access to professional and public recognition. In this short communication, we will ask whether forms of qualification promoted in these groups as new norms and values (professional, economic and legal) give new sources of recognition and equity for women artisans in Burkina Faso.
