CAP Développement is an international solidarity association founded in Normandy, France, and based in Sainneville-sur-Seine. It is managed by a board of directors composed of ten volunteer members, supported by a committed executive committee. Since its creation, the association has placed the promotion of sustainable development at the heart of its mission, particularly in Burkina Faso, where it has been officially recognized as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) by local authorities since 2004.
CAP Développement’s operational branch in Burkina Faso is located at the Maison des Associations de Nouna, in the provinces of Kossi and Banwa. This branch, run by a local salaried team, is responsible for the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of projects on the ground. It plays a strategic role in the association’s local presence and in maintaining a continuous connection with the beneficiaries.
The association pursues a multifaceted mission, structured around four main pillars:
For over 30 years, CAP Développement has carried out multisectoral actions responding to the fundamental needs of rural communities in Burkina Faso, through an integrated and sustainable approach:
The proper functioning of the association relies on the ongoing commitment of its volunteers in France, who lead awareness-raising activities, seek funding opportunities, and coordinate the support network. On the ground, the Burkinabe team ensures continuity of action and guarantees that projects are adapted to the local context.
Despite a sometimes unstable security situation in Burkina Faso, CAP Développement continues to demonstrate resilience and dedication, supporting its partners through a co-development approach that values local resources and promotes community self-sufficiency.
