Posted by Wilma Massucco on January 20, 2011 under Focus | Be the First to Comment

As a good example of the way how to concretely and succesfully promote Development through a Participatory approach, the Eugad team in Sierra Leone selected the action run, in over 15 years, by EFA (Environmental Foundation for Africa), an Organization which aims to protect and restore the environment in West Africa and take advantage from the use of the local natural resources through environmental awareness raising and capacity building activities.

In February 2010 EFA started a new Cooperation partnership, named FOSED, focused on conservation agriculture and natural resource management. Its aim is to increase the agricultural productivity, develop activities in order to handle the marketing and processing of agricultural products and increase the value chain development of the agricultural products, supporting the institution building and decentralization process at district and community level as well.

Not covinced about the website? Neither are we! How can we hope to attract the eye of the user by not appeaing to his sensual pleasures of sight. Content is important but so is aesthetics. Will you ever want to read something which does not look good? And we know that we are not looking good, but soon that is going to change ;)

Fausto is going to Verbania on the 21st of October and from the next day up till the end of the month it’s going to be ‘full immersion’ into the web world for Giobi and Fausto. They better convert the site from “not bad” to “enchanting, accaptivating, playful and wise” or else we will immerge them in the Lago Maggiore or send them to Timnaktu! And we are sure you are with us in this ;)

But let us try saving them first, give us feedbacks as the site progresses, tell us where you think we are going wrong and where right… so keep cheking the site! It is time to play with the site, let’s be creative!
