Crowdfunding Experteer to Support Women Farmer Organizations in Cameroon
FARMER ASSOCAITIONS AT A SEMINAR
Local Communities in Cameroon are characterized by high levels of poverty and malnutrition. Moreover, the region’s productivity has been in recent years, increasingly affected by climate change. In order to cope with increasing social, economical and environmental challenges, smallholders and producers have decided to come together and adopt best practices in farm and business management
At CAS Cameroon, we aim to help the underserved communities of Cameroon by providing the necessary resources to establish an environment that fosters community development.
Our activities over the last two years has seen us train over 200 women on best farm and management practices, train 30 youths on best community practice when it comes to local business development, and train 2 local traditional councils on best practices when it comes to management of community projects.
The Project aims to develop farmer organizations as a vehicle to introduce innovative technology and provide training, inputs, infrastructure, and other forms of assistance.
The Strategic Objective of the Project include:
1. Improve market linkages, value addition, and quality and safety of the food system.
2. Farmers’ Organizations strengthened for transfer of knowledge and improved access to markets and input delivery.
