Si ce système mène à l’impasse, comment le réinventer ? Comment se réinventer ? Certains franchissent le pas, poussés par les circonstances ou de leur propre initiative. À la veille de l’été, notre dossier spécial en a épinglé quelques-uns, de ces acteurs du changement.…

Millions of people around the world are dependent upon aquatic agricultural systems for their livelihoods. In fact, all of us are, in some way or another. 

In Zambia, there are communities living within the Barotse Flood Plain who must deal with seasonal flooding patterns that saturate the surrounding fertile land. Each time the Zambezi river floods, these communities must pack up their belongings and move to higher ground. They have been doing this for centuries, but the…

We are equipped! We are empowered! We are inspired!



Transfer is the T in SALT. It is how we spread the Community Life Competence approach to new partners, new communities and new places.

It does not require an expert approach, nor complex "sales" or "communications" strategies. Transfer is simple. It starts with a simple conversation.



The Constellation’s ability to connect local responses requires that we learn from new communities and engage with new…

We all get it sometimes. Writer's block. It can be crippling. But the worst part is that it stands in the way of someone else hearing your story. It stops others from learning from our experience.

"Salt is an essential nutrient and is the world’s oldest food additive. Mankind has been using salt for many centuries, in the course of which we've amassed many uses (some speculate thousands) for this amazing substance—uses that go far beyond mere seasoning.

Commonly used as food flavouring and an additive to help preserve food, this common mineral is so valuable." taken from internet, Uses of SALT. 

The SALT Process has indeed become valuable in our daily thinking and…

We all know there are aid donors and international funding partners out there that want to change “business as usual” in development (or at least people inside those institutions that do). We also all know that for various reasons, they’re not moving quick enough for those working on the ground.

New donors could come in and fill the gaps. But more importantly, we need a new kind of donor, whether they are recent to the scene or not.

The organizations that I see doing…

La pensée collective manding dans sa tentative d’expliquer la mort d’une personne. Pour un  enfant de bas qui mourrait, on disait qu’il a ‘’rebroussé chemin’’ de la longue traversée de ce monde ici-bas. Mais ce fait n’est pas dénué de raisons. Les raisons évoquées étaient entre autres : la méchante vieille femme sans enfant, la coépouse jalouse et enfin l’oiseau.

En fait, comme un aigle qui plane dans le firmament, le regard perçant, fonce sur sa proie à la vitesse d’une…

La sensibilisation sur l’utilisation de moustiquaires imprégnées d’insecticide. Le comité de suivi a remarqué que l’utilisation de moustiquaires imprégnées d’insecticide ne respectait pas certaines valeurs communautaires.

En effet, dans certains foyers, l’homme se couchait seul sous la moustiquaire et la maman et son enfant en dehors exposés aux piqures des insectes (moustiques, cafards, punaises et autres).

D’autres faisaient entrer la femme et l’enfant tentait de dormir en…

As an appreciative inquiry practitioner, it’s so easy to get caught up in the ‘busy-ness’ of work and forget to ask myself the most important question of the day.

And what’s that?

It’s “What appreciative question can I ask today?”

Without asking myself this, I often feel like an Appreciative Inquiry technician. That is, a technician who uses AI as a ‘tool’ rather than one who lives the principles of…
