About the webinar series

In 2023, the Climate Action Accelerator launched its first collective cycle to offer tailored support to five national NGOs in the Sahel: Alerte Santé in Chad, KEOOGO and SOS Médecins in Burkina Faso, BEFEN in Niger and AMCP-SP in Mali. Unlike the work carried out with international partners, the collaboration with local NGOs does not aim to set quantified emission reduction targets, but rather to develop low-carbon development trajectories, increase their operational resilience and strengthen their capacity for action.   

These organisations have developed environmental roadmaps and have launched concrete projects, including the collection of empty Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) sachets, waste categorisation and management, the implementation of white roofs and solarisation projects, and the development of agroecological practices.   

During this series of webinars with NGOs from the first cycle, we will share the lessons learned from the development of the roadmaps and the first projects launched. Since the end of 2024, the Accelerator has embarked on a second collective cycle with eight NGOs in Senegal and Cameroon.  

If you would like to join the next collective cycles, now is the time to find out more !

Webinar 2 – Protecting the environment: collecting RUTF sachets

As part of their medical and nutritional activities, ALIMA and its partner NGOs, Alerte Santé, KEOOGO and SOS Médecins, organised collections of used ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) pouches used to treat child malnutrition in Chad and Burkina Faso. RUTF is highly effective, but the packaging, which consists of individual, metallised, multi-layer sachets, is often discarded in the environment, generating significant plastic pollution. The systematic collection of empty sachets therefore represents a major improvement by preventing them from being scattered in the environment.
