Client : European Union, represented by the European Commission

Region / Country: Africa | Cameroon
Services: Studies
Client category: Public institutions

Mission:

The mission consisted in carrying out the preliminary studies for the formulation of the program “Paysage Sud / Sud-Est” whose objective is to ensure the sustainable development of rural territories by guaranteeing an inclusive growth and a responsible use of natural resources.

The aim was to carry out the following two reference studies: (i) a detailed and complete mapping of the network of actors and stakeholders in the area based on a census of actors and the study of their relationships through the analysis of interests and the quantification of influence games around resources, (ii) a socio-economic baseline study based on quantitative surveys aimed at providing a quantified inventory of the living conditions of households and showing the issues and structuring dynamics at the scale of the area, in particular through an approach by ecosystem services to understand the interdependencies between human activities and the biological and physical environment.) For these two studies, particular attention was paid to the situation of the indigenous peoples of the area.

Results:

The following deliverables were provided to the client:

  • A detailed and complete mapping report of the network of actors and stakeholders in the area, sensitive to gender, including the identification of the issues and interests of each of them.
  • A quantitative baseline study that can serve as a reference state and show the structuring issues and dynamics at the scale of the area, particularly through an ecosystem services approach.
