Centre Oecuménique pour la Promotion du Monde Rural (COPROMOR)
Centre Oecuménique pour la Promotion du Monde Rural (COPROMOR) works for the welfare of beneficiary groups by supporting their sustainable development initiatives and enterprises, with a view to promoting a well-organised and structured rural society, in which peasants maintain their identity and are in control of their own development.
COPROMOR has been actively engaged in promoting food security for 19 years. The 2000-2003 three-year programme focused on increasing family income, while the current programme, which began on 1 April 2003, focuses more on increasing agricultural production in rural communities. The main activities are:
- to promote the distribution of improved seeds;
- to distribute improved seeds to vulnerable groups and households;
- to provide training on agricultural techniques to peasant organisations;
- to promote a gender and development approach and rights and development.
