consolidate local potential.

The Environmental Management Centre WESDE (Water Energy and Sanitation for Development), is a non-profit association created in 2004 in Maroua, Far North region of Cameroon. Its main mission is to accompany, coach and train local communities on local development opportunities, with a view to enabling them to take responsibility for themselves in the long term. On the basis of a participatory community assessment of the needs of the stakeholders themselves, and with the multifaceted support of its various partners, WESDE has surrounded itself with a team (from multi-skilled community agents to PhD holders) that accompanies the communities on a daily basis in the implementation and appropriation of their projects with them and for them.

WESDE: Taking Leadership in Water Energy and Sanitation in Cameroon

While improving significantly the sanitation, hygiene and housing conditions of disadvantaged populations, we aim to reduce the percentage of the population that does not have sustainable access to a drinking water supply. We also want to train and educate people to sustainable management of water resources and the protection of the environment, trying to reverse the current trend of loss of environmental resources. In order to do so, we seek to cooperate with national and international organizations, develop and maintain partnership, exchange and learning relationships. Last but not least, one of our objectives is to accompany the community in the fight against HIV / AIDS in order to stop its spread and reverse the current trend
