CONTEXT

Inter Aide (IA) is a French NGO. For 40 years, IA has been carrying out and monitoring concrete development programs in remote rural areas of six African countries and Haiti.

Since 2007, in Sierra Leone, Inter Aide has been implementing agriculture, WASH and health (discontinued) programs. To promote agricultural development, IA introduces and diffuses technical innovations to the farmers and supports local farmer organizations to develop structuring services to their fellow members (agricultural loans and input purchase). To foster access to safe water IA has a large scope of intervention that includes hygiene and sanitation, building and rehabilitation of wells, promotion of household water treatment and an ambitious program of repairs and maintenance of hand pumps. IA interventions in Sierra Leone are detailed on our website (http://www.interaide.org).
