Our history
Our target audience
Our working approach
Our working approach evolves from correspondence courses in 1962 to the SAADEV method to the present day. The scale below better illustrates the evolution of our working method.
At the beginning, correspondence courses
At the time of its creation, in the 1960s, Africa’s challenge was primarily technological, for a public composed of rural adults, farmers, animators and supervisors of the rural world. The emblem of all the efforts made at that time was the red book of Agriculture, administered through correspondence courses. Each course was well thought out from the content to the methods of support for the registered participants, in a constant effort to provide the knowledge and know-how necessary for the implementation of the learners’ activities. For twenty years, these courses have effectively supported the access of many African farmers to agricultural production methods and techniques. The fame of these courses crossed the limits of the African continent, since towards the end of the 1970s, the FAO financed their translation into other languages.
The project approach and the integrated intervention program for beneficiaries’ projects (APFI)
At the start of the 1980s, the organization of the rural world became the major challenge to be met. For the next twenty years, the role of farmers and their organizations in development was to be the order of the day, with sure variations: “democracy and development, gender and development, and women’s access to the means of production and to the products of the family farm”, etc. Thus, the project approach and the approach by intervention program integrated to the beneficiaries’ projects (APFI) have been initiated and used to systematize the taking into account of the needs of the training applicants and to organize these trainings in a more coherent way and to take into account factors other than training.
