Media and social networks make important contributions to community development by

• Providing needful and practical information
• Playing an outstanding role in creating and shaping public opinion
• Facilitating change in behavior
• Scaling up agriculture stakeholders achievement
• Small-scale producers are doing their best to feed their families and the world, facing economic challenges and climate issues. Their diverse contributions to national and regional economy as well as their participation to food security should be acknowledge and valued.
• The vision of the NGO VALIDE-Espace Communautaire is to make the community a space where members can advance by themselves, within a reliable, dynamic and sustainable environment
• -by producing and disseminating useful and timely information for food actors to allow a better decision making in food production and supply, mass communication outreach on resilience good practices
• -by implementing a communication platform and a community outreach for scaling up resilience good practices and promoting food security actors
• -by telling their stories and sharing their daily struggles and challenges, their success and lessons learned in pursuing a sustainable well-being
• we are convinced that we can rely on communities by involving them in every single planification, implementation and evaluation. Change can only come from them and with them.
• Absence of a platform where different actors engaged in agriculture can share and promote good agricultural practices . We can thus notice:
• Duplication of efforts
• Lack of collaboration among the stakeholders
• Lack of relevant, reliable and timely information
