Cultivating Resilience Across the Congo Basin
We are driving a paradigm shift toward Agroecology—a holistic approach that restores our soil, protects biodiversity, and empowers local producers. By centering our agricultural model on people and the environment, we are building a resilient, sustainable future for Cameroon and beyond.
A Unified Voice for Change
Vision
Agroecology in Cameroon is the driving force behind sustainable and competitive agro-sylvo-pastoral, fisheries and wildlife production that respects the environment, consumer health and cultural values, and is resilient in the face of climate change.
Mision
To lead the agroecological transition in Cameroon and the Congo Basin by fostering collaboration, advocacy, and research. We are dedicated to raising awareness, sharing transformative experiences, and providing direct support to farming communities in transition.

Following a participatory process that began in 2022, twenty civil society organizations gathered in Yaoundé to officially launch the
Agroecology Promotion Network in Cameroon (REPAC)
From Vision to Institution
Facilitated by SAILD with support from the Full Circle Foundation, this network was born from a collective desire to establish a favorable framework for food sovereignty, biodiversity protection, and climate resilience. The leadership reflects this collaborative spirit:
Presidency: Green Development Advocates (GDA)
Vice-Presidency: Environment and Rural Development Foundation (ERuDeF)
Technical Secretariat: SAILD (serving as the executive body)
Strengthening the Network and Institutional Recognition
Since its founding, REPAC has rapidly evolved into a credible institutional partner. A major milestone in this journey was the network’s selection
by the Ministry of Forests and Wildlife (MINFOF) to map cocoa orchards—a significant recognition of civil society’s expertise in national agricultural management.
The 2025 Roadmap: Influencing Climate Policy
The most critical mission for 2025 is integrating agroecology into Cameroon’s revised Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
REPAC is currently drafting a formal proposal for the Ministry of Environment, positioning agroecology as a primary solution for carbon sequestration and climate resilience.
A Growing Movement
The journey from the constitutive assembly in Yaoundé to the recent workshops in Maroua and Kribi confirms that agroecology is a multi-level movement. Whether through local market stalls or high-level policy papers, the goal remains the same: a resilient, equitable, and sustainable food system for all of Cameroon.
