In 2023, the Climate Action Accelerator launched its first collective cycle to offer tailored support to give 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) bags, 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.

Webinar 1 – Developing a strategy: Roadmaps from five Sahelian NGOs

The first collective cycle brought together five national NGOs – Alerte Santé, KEOOGO, BEFEN, SOS Médecins Burkina Faso et AMCP-SP. Over a period of 9 to 12 months, this collective cycle aimed to co-develop and implement, with each organisation, an individual roadmap towards sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon development.  

Take part in the first webinar of the cycle to discover the methodology used to develop the roadmaps, their content, and the main lessons to be learned.
