Fifty Years of Impact: A Platform for the Future of African Agricultural Entrepreneurship
History and Vision
Le temps de l'urgence
Née de la grande sécheresse sahélienne, SOS SAHEL fédère des associations locales pour répondre dans l'urgence aux besoins vitaux des populations.
Le développement local intégré
L'association se professionnalise et construit des projets de développement local durable, au plus près des besoins des communautés.
Sahel Network & sécurité alimentaire
SOS SAHEL devient un acteur expert de la sécurité alimentaire, capable de dialoguer avec les États et les institutions régionales, en consolidant son réseau de terrain.
A Better Life & l'entrepreneuriat agricole
L'organisation devient une plateforme d'agri-entrepreneuriat social, qui met son réseau et son expertise historique au service de la création de valeur pour les Sahéliens.
From SOS SAHEL to A Better Life
A Better Life continues more than fifty years of SOS SAHEL’s commitment in Africa. Born in the context of the great Sahelian droughts, SOS SAHEL has supported millions of rural actors — farmers, herders, communities — in developing their livelihoods.
This trajectory today fuels a new ambition: to make Africa no longer a territory of assistance, but a driver of innovation and food sovereignty — an open platform in service of sustainable, measurably impactful value chains.
Vision 2050
By 2050, A Better Life aims to be the reference platform for African agri-entrepreneurship. A network of service centers active in the continent’s most vulnerable areas.
African value chains valued on local and international markets. And millions of women producers — autonomous, organized, recognized as key actors in African food systems.
A Global Organization
A Better Life’s governance ensures the strategic consistency, accountability, and transparency of the Group’s actions in service of inclusive and sustainable agriculture in Africa.
