Our team
Diverse, dynamic profiles working to achieve our objectives
SAILD’s strategy is based on an approach built around the following principles:
– Helping farmers to create original syntheses from endogenous and exogenous resources, to build a strategy based on their environment and their own objectives.
– Prioritise support for farmers to help them make a detailed, forward-looking analysis of what is happening in and around their environment, at local, national and international level.
-Support farmers in producing key ideas (concepts, their own visions) likely to guide and, ideally, found a genuine farmers’ movement.
-Supporting farmers to help them identify the key mobilising challenges; those that really drive people to show solidarity, to stand together in the face of the challenges that will form the basis for building joint social action.
SAILD’s operational approach is based on two fundamental principles:
-the ability to immerse oneself in the operating environment;
people-centred development.
Our actions are based on local presence throughout the country and the systematic involvement of local communities. SAILD is present in all regions of Cameroon, with efficient local teams able to better understand the endogenous dynamics of communities.
