ACCEM
The “Mon jardin pour nourrir Nouakchott” (My garden to feed Nouakchott) project aims to promote eco-friendly agricultural production while empowering local populations through the creation of urban and peri-urban micro-gardens. The initiative also aims to strengthen community ties by encouraging the active participation of local residents. Micro-gardens provide a space where people can come together, exchange knowledge and share resources. This fosters social cohesion and strengthens the community fabric.
