Symbiose

Symbiose is a Senegalese NGO that has spent more than twenty years supporting communities and local authorities towards sustainable, inclusive, and resilient development. It works primarily in the fields of agroecology, sustainable natural resource management, climate resilience, territorial governance, the economic empowerment of women and youth, and the strengthening of community organisations. Through participatory approaches that draw on local knowledge, Symbiose helps promote solutions suited to the realities of each territory and builds the capacity of local stakeholders to sustainably lead their own development. 

Symbiose has joined the third collective cycle of the Climate Action Accelerator to accelerate its low-carbon transition and move towards a more sustainable, resilient development model. This cycle provides a collaborative framework to:

• Better understand and regularly measure the organisation’s environmental footprint (carbon and waste)
• Identify the most relevant solutions and actions to implement in order to integrate sustainable practices
• Build an environmental roadmap tailored to its context and challenges
• Roll out and implement the first concrete solutions, including through support in securing funding

This represents an opportunity for Symbiose to strengthen its impact while becoming part of a collective drive for innovation and resilience in the face of climate change.
