Social and Economic Development

This programme seeks to bring the people to live in harmony with nature in Africa. It is built around the current issues related to the management of Africa’s most precious renewable natural resource which is the forest. It also pays sufficient attention to Africa’s wildlife increasingly threatened by poaching and habitat loss, particularly large mammals.

The Nature and People Programme capitalises on the market for environmental services and particularly on the current and future opportunities offered by the international carbon finance and climate change to promote the social and economic development of the marginalised human populations.

There has never been better opportunity than this one to promote sustainable development in Africa from Africa’s resources.

We strongly invite you to explore the different components of our Nature and People Programme to learn how ACDEF is facilitating this crucial process.
