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.
