Communautary development

IKAM has been supporting local communities for more than 12 years through the Maaya and citizenship program on citizenship education, the JI NI BESEYA and BESAYA BLON projects on WASH (EHA) issues and the SCOFI project on the promotion of the schooling of girls. This is how IKAM Ségou, in accordance with its mission to support local communities, decided to initiate this Community Development Program (CDP) with two essential components: A Fab-Lab for the research and development of AMCS concept, training and supervision in the field of community development.

This Program offers practical and adapted training in coherence with the local context in various fields (Citizenship, Education, Environment, WASH, Health) and the development of IGAs in connection with the associative dynamics, cooperative management, production techniques and the marketing in communities. KAM has an experienced team for the implementation of community development projects and programs, with an innovative approach to capacity building and learning based on the concept of Art and Maaya for Social Change (AMCS).

The PDC is a research and community development program implemented in collaboration with the Center Culturel Kôrè. It offers practical and adapted training consistent with the local context in various community areas through a network of local, national and international experts.
