The initiative contributes to the Sahel and West Africa Club (SWAC), which aims to promote regional policies to improve the socio-economic situation of people in the Sahel and West Africa. SWAC activities include: 1) Organization of exchange forums and conferences between regional actors from the Sahel and West Africa and OECD member countries on thematic and regional issues; 2) Production of independent analyses based on the expertise of a large network of researchers and partners on the Sahel and West Africa; 3) Development of strategies, guides and tools for better regional governance. The beneficiaries of the project are not only political decision-makers in the region's countries, but also donors, who benefit from the detailed studies and analyses to guide their interventions.

The project focuses on conducting research and delivering capacity-building programmes to ethnic minority women and communities to support their adoption of nature-based solutions (NBS) to enhance biodiversity conservation. It would provide technical support to cooperatives, enterprises, women’s organizations to strengthen ethnic minority women’s access to financial services and trainings that promote biodiversity-friendly and climate-resilient agricultural practice in forest buffer zones. The project also supports the capacities of public and private actors to implement biodiversity conservation policies and programs supporting EM women’s rights and their climate change adaptation.

Project activities include: (1) conducting studies on High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) biodiversity, ethnic minority women’s traditional knowledge and nature based solutions; (2) providing gender-sensitive technical assistance to forest protection committees and community-based conservation groups; (3) implementing women-led reforestation and ecological restoration campaigns; (4) providing a training program on sustainable business management for ethnic minority women entrepreneurs; (5) establishing a transformative leadership school tailored to environmental issues for diverse ethnic minority women’s groups; and (6) implementing awareness raising and training on gender equality and positive masculinity to increase women’s participation in biodiversity decision-making process.

To date, an application has been developed to help real estate developers sell their units via interactive 3D representations. The proposed project aims to provide complete support, from validation of finish choices to assistance to co-owners, by migrating the business model to Saas.

Business Development- generation of leads and sales from the sports and education markets in Canada and the US. The Business Development Representation will be expected to contact between 50-100 potential customers per week and generate 5-10 leads per week. These leads will then be qualified and quantified. The sales target will start at $5,000 per month and grow to $10,000 per month as the project develops.

This project involves conducting several experiments for initiatives aimed at boosting sales. It will help identify the most relevant approaches and quickly improve the company’s revenue.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm.
