SOS Sahel International
SOS SAHEL INTERNATIONAL NIGER
Created in 1976, SOS Sahel International Niger, has implemented a wide range of projects concerning aspects such as
Food Security ,  the environment and rural development. Since 1990, through the interventions of  SOS Sahel UK (now  
known as the CRAC-GRN) , the organisation has become increasingly interested in the question of  local natural resource
management  and the promotion of the decentralised management of  forests in the arid and semi-arid regions of Africa..
Thus, SOS Sahel has gained very useful experience concerning the strategies and practical aspects of social development
and the necessary techniques for sustainable management of natural resources. As such, the organisation feels capable of
playing an active role in the search for appropriate interventions promoting  rational decentralised management of natural
resources in Niger.
The CRAC-GRN
Born of a process of transformation (decentralisation) of SOS Sahel UK the CRAC-GRN is an autonomous operational
working unit within SOS Sahel International Niger. The CRAC-GRN designs and implements projects which can not only be
implemented and maintained by the Government, local communities and institutions  but can also be usefully adapted  for
other areas experiencing similar problems. It  aims  to help communities in the Sahélo Soudanienne Region adapt
themselves to the inevitable changes in their socio-economic environment, through development of their capacities,
enabling them to better deal with these changes.
