Project Information
| Project Name: | Capacity Development and Good Governance of Natural Resources in Southern Maradi Component (RECAL in French ) |
| Project Description: | |
| RECAL builds on CARE's Baban Raffi Community Development Project implemented in the rural area of Madarounfa and Guidan Roumji in southern Maradi. The project targets 25,000 men and women from 4,200 households living in the 50 communities and aims to ensure that these communities are able to strengthen and consolidate their organisational, technical and institutional capacities. At the same time, the project strives to actively involve these communities in the decentralisation process and in the local management of the natural resources in partnership with local NGOs. The project has two immediate objectives: 1) to strengthen community based organizations' (CBO) capacity to initiate/develop and execute local development plans in partnership with NGOs; 2) to support NGOs, associations and COFOs (Commisions foncieres in French translated as Landtenure commission) in their efforts towards strengthening the local communities' capacities for sustainable management of the natural resources and the prevention and resolution of conflicts. The lessons learned from this component helps to plan future activities in Agricultural and Natural Resources sector, civil society strengthening, advocacy, decentralisation and conflict resolution. | |
