We have been in Senegal since 2005. Our early work focused on appropriate technology projects in Thiès Region. Then we have expanded to remote municipalities elsewhere in the country, supporting women’s, farmers’ and village groups in three other regions: Diourbel, Kaffrine and Casamance.

Our work in Senegal is coordinated by our strategic partner Performance Afrique, a local organisation based in Thiès, with regional offices in Kaffrine and Djiredji.
What we do in Senegal :
We are currently running projects in four rural municipalities: Boulèle and Ndiognick (Kaffrine Region), and Bambaly (Sedhiou Region in Casamance). We are mainly supporting sustainable agriculture projects, food security and food-processing initiatives (with local women’s groups).
Examples of projects
Promotion of sustainable market gardening through support for 660 members of women's groups (4 years)
Distribution of beehives and promotion of sustainable beekeeping, including networking among stakeholders (3 years)
Setting up a cashew nut processing unit (1 year)
Improving food security for 23,000 inhabitants through the establishment of a network of agricultural storage and processing facilities (4 years)
