Since its creation in 2014, SCF has been designing and implementing innovative and
inclusive programs in the areas of education, citizen engagement at regional,

Niger, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, Togo, Central African Republic,
Cameroon and Chad.)


Themes of work: 

● Reduction of social inequalities, through project-solutions. The approach used in
this framework is youth-led, from which mobilized young people identify and
implement solutions to problems related to the effects of climate change.

● Gender equity

● Youth engagement, youth-led design

● Strengthening and supporting local environmental protection and climate justice
initiatives through training and capacity building for both local associations and
young people (activists, environmentalists ....).

● Awareness raising and information on various topics related to climate justice to
enable young people, children and adolescents and their communities to learn
about and promote climate justice concepts and take action through climate action
in their communities.

● Healthy and sustainable food through urban agro ecological activities, reforestation
and micro-gardening.

● Community-based adaptation whereby SCF, through youth, children leadership,
promotes and supports community impact initiatives that engage communities in
adapting to the effects of climate change.

● Gradual transition to renewable energy with actions promoting the use of solar or
other types of renewable energy.

● Promotion of renewable energy such as solar and wind power by local people in our
community impact projects.

● Entrepreneurship in the eco-farming sphere through the promotion and support of
individual or collective and entrepreneurial initiatives for a transition towards a
more sustainable agriculture.
