Fostering sustainable communities and forests through volunteering
The EUAV FORESTS project is a 3 continent partnership of 9 sending and hosting organisations, experts in volunteering or forestry risks prevention, which foresees to deploy 27 European and national volunteers in order to develop citizen engagement in reducing the vulnerability of communities living in forests areas and to strengthen their resilience capacity.
Funded by DG ECHO of the European Commission, EUAV FORESTS focuses on building the resilience of the communities living in these territories, through the civic engagement of European volunteers and local communities in Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Congo and Vietnam. The intervention plan that mobilises EUAV volunteers is translated into 5 strategic axes:
A comprehensive approach to resilience, through a mapping study aimed at identifying, at all levels and by each of the communities concerned, the various factors of vulnerability to disasters and crises ;
A support provided by volunteers to vulnerable populations which will allow the direct development of human capital so that they can anticipate, reduce the impact, cope and install an adaptation process ;
Activities to mobilize future generations, to help à̀ develop the social capital of their communities, to limit future risks and, in return, to promote community development activities that will strengthen individual resilience ;
Awareness raising actions, strengthening of social ties and support for local populations to set up projects that complement awareness-raising activities;
Finally, a last workstream is to ensure sustainability, awareness raising and fundamental change of attitudes through the involvement of young people in projects and advocacy campaigns around the rights of communities living in forest areas.
