FUNDING
This site was intended to train young people in agricultural skills and to provide a space for meetings and exchanges between the farmers belonging to the Pool. During the civil war in Congo, many buildings and infrastructures have been looted and destroyed. FOJEP-D was therefore forced to stop all its activities until 2003. Since then, thanks to the involvement of its office in Lyon and to the commitment of its volunteers, FOJEP-D was able to resume its activities in new locations, enabling it to welcome a few trainees again.
The programme focuses on the restarting of FOJEP – Development's activities. It will rely primarily on the NGO's rural resource center inLoukakou (district of Ngoma-tse-tse, Kinkala), which will be the epicenter of the programme. From there will be developed and motivated a network of local actors acting as vectors of propagation of the practices and activities promoted by the programme, the latter aiming to develop an agricultural entrepreneurship respecting environmental requirements.
