Two projects are concerned : RESILAC (Project for Inclusive Economic and Social Recovery of Lake Chad) and TAPSA (Transition towards a Peasant Agroecology at the Service of Food Sovereignty). Their missions cover remote work (implemented in 2020 due to the coronavirus) and interventions in the countries concerned (from 2021).
