Petite Côte · being structured since 2024

DyTAEL Mbour-Petite Côte

By 2050, the Mbour department reaches food sovereignty and security for resilience and prosperity through agroecology.

Organizational development

A younger platform, still being structured. The territorial diagnostic measured the challenge: the DyTAEL is known to only 7.6% of the surveyed population, and coordination between actors remains weak. Formal structuring is scheduled for 2026.

Mission

  • Raise awareness and inform on agroecology
  • Network the value-chain actors
  • Advocate for agroecology in local policy
  • Build capacity (producers, councils, women, youth, CSOs)
  • Co-produce and share knowledge
