Our Work
We focus on sustainable solutions that empower communities and protect the environment
Land Goverance
To understand the socio-economic impact of land restoration and forest conservation policies and programmes on rural land access and use by dependent communities, ViSA Africa carried out participatory mapping in the communes of Bembèrèkè and Gogounou, two villages bordering the Trois Rivières forest.
Adaptation & Resilience
Agro-pastoral dams are versatile reservoirs designed to help pastoralists and farmers manage water scarcity in rural and peri-urban areas. Over recent decades, their sustainability has been impacted by management challenges arising from stakeholders’ perceptions of the ecosystem services provided by reservoirs and buffer zones.
Just Food Systems
ViSA Africa conducted a study in the municipalities of Gogounou, Kandi, and Ségbana to promote just food systems. The study examined the interactions between agriculture and livestock stakeholders. The aim was to explore the foundations and opportunities for peaceful collaboration and to improve sustainable land management (SLM).
