Livelihood Camp 2024 (Paris, France)
Yagasu is proud to have been part of the Livelihoods Camp 2024, hosted by our esteemed grant donor, Livelihoods Venture From March 11th to 13th, 2024. Our team, represented by Meilinda Suriani Harefa (Managing Director), Riza Aditya (Program Director), Fauziah Damayanti (General Affairs Director), and Anton Siregar (Restoration Manager), had the privilege to participate in this enriching event.
At Livelihoods Camp 2024, held simultaneously at Danone France, Schneider Electric, and SAP, we connected with like-minded partners from NGOs across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Together, we shared invaluable insights, best practices, and lessons learned from our collective experiences in the field. Moreover, we were thrilled to showcase the incredible mangrove-based products crafted by the local communities we support.
The 3-day event featured a Marketplace of Solutions for Rural Communities & Natural Ecosystems, workshops dedicated to transversal topics at the core of Livelihoods action, and a session for sharing workshop outcomes, networking, and a closing conference.
We’re grateful to Livelihoods for organizing such a meaningful event and for their unwavering support of our mangrove restoration efforts since 2011, and we look forward to continuing our partnership in making positive changes for rural communities and the environment.
