Guinea – West Africa
Agroforestry
Development of Sustainable Agriculture and Apiculture practices and infrastructure in villages from the sub-prefecture of Kolenté of the Kindia region of Guinea.
This program has been successfully completed.
This program focused on developing and scaling agro-ecological practices adapted to the local context. It has significantly improved food security and sovereignty year-round, while boosting the villages’ economy through market sales.
The program included continuous training in agroforestry, sustainable beekeeping, organisational management, sales, and accounting. Essential infrastructure, such as solar-powered irrigation systems, storage facilities, fenced crop perimeters, and beekeeping installations, was put in place. Communities received tools and equipment, including a tricycle to transport harvests to markets. Edible trees were planted to restore land degraded by past aggressive practices and to further support food security.
This program was in partnership with the Swiss NGO, Nouvelle Planète. It has supported women-led farmer groups from the sub-prefecture of Kolenté.
