SUCO-Solidarité Union Coopération

Published purpose

This project supports 60 villages in three rural communes (Sanankoroba, Dialakoroba, and Bougoula) and two urban areas (Mopti and Gao). It aims to promote the emergence and strengthening of a community-based local development process. This process aims to pool community resources and local talents to promote self-development in order to increase household income for more sustainable local economic development. To this end, the project encourages local ownership by proposing participatory and democratic management of community affairs. The project relies on the creation of rural associations. It offers about a year of training, in which members of these associations learn to design and execute their own development projects. The project especially targets women.
