COOPI

 

COOPI is a NGO operating in different countries within different areas of development. One of the focuses of their intervention is related to capacity building and resilience of the communities. Their intervention is deeply related to the project of the Center for African Studies, mainly because in Lake Chad they help refugees and displaced population that live in rough conditions because of conflicts deriving from terrorism and the scarcity of resources. COOPI’s projects related to the access to water and hygiene, nutritional security and environmental issues join the interdisciplinary and multi topic approach of the Lake Chad project.
