17 years of international expertise

Since its creation, Kinomé’s goal has been to reverse the trend of global deforestation which is the result of a global economic and development system.

The deforestation of tropical forests represented more than 90% of the world’s deforestation between 2000 and 2018. Our on-the-ground presence has been critical to be able to drive strategic projects with international actors that are a solution to this deforestation.

Our 4 activities deployed internationally:

Research:

thesis on climate in the Great Green Wall countries, thesis on human-wildlife conflicts in Uganda. We co-supervise applied research in the South, with teams of researchers and practitioners from the South and the North.

Consulting:

we work with public institutions and private actors to help decision-makers (governments, companies, NGOs and international organizations) design and implement strategies with high positive impact for humans and forests.

Projects:

We drive and coordinate field initiatives that we believe are particularly innovative and have the potential to systemic change. For example, we federate and co-create a group of stakeholders who work on sustainably protect and enhance mangroves in West Africa. We also work to the scaling up of production and dissemination of moringa leaves particularly beneficial to children health.

Education:

8 countries, in Africa and Latin America, involved in the Forest&Life educational program.

Discover our strategy :

  • Consulting missions for the private and public sectors
  • Long-term technical assistance (Kobaby in DIANA, MBIA projects of the PIC)
  • Tree planting with the Forest & Life project
  • Training of our partners in Ethical Leadership© applied to the management of project teams, companies, institutions and groups of stakeholders as well as to incubators

Kinomé is active in 14 countries in West and Central Africa, by:

  • Accompanying companies in the modification of their sourcing model to prioritize positive impacts on producers and forests
  • Helping countries adapt to climate change and implement agroforestry and forest protection programs
  • Encouraging and coordinating reforestation initiatives in civil society

Kinomé also leads the 5 Deltas collective which unites 14 NGOs from Senegal, Gambia and Guinea Bissau around a common project of protection and valorization of mangrove territories. 

Kinomé also trains executives in the engineering of Ethical Leadership© applied to project management, as well as technical training on climate change, resilience, etc.

Kinomé’s activities in 9 countries of the zone include:

  • Accompanying agricultural companies in the modification of their model to prioritize positive impact on the climate, biodiversity and local communities and by promoting family farming

References :

  • Impact assessment of forest and agroforestry investment projects (12Tree, Forest Finance / Colombia, Costa Rica, Rep, Dom, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama,)
  • Impact assessment of smallholder projects (Andean Cacao, Grupo Paisano / Colombia, Mexico)
  • Taking action for the climate and for resilient territories: supporting local actors in the sustainable management of natural resources to improve the living conditions of local populations

References :

  • Structuring the Moringa value chain to fight malnutrition and degradation of the dry forest of Piura, Peru
  • Design and implementation of an innovative financing mechanism to strengthen the management of Braulio Carrillo National Park and its buffer zone (GCS) – Costa Rica
  • Technical assistance to agroforestry programs in the Ecuadorian Amazon

Kinomé and our partner Impulso Verde run a Forest & Life environmental education project in Colombia.

Kinomé operates in France from its headquarters based in the Cité du Développement Durable (94).

Kinomé’s activities in France include:

  • Supporting companies in any sector and of any size in their strategy and projects to improve their impacts.
  • Deployment of our educational program (Forest & Life) in all the departments of France to encourage students to commit themselves to protect the forest.
  • Communication of our training proposal for communities.

We also regularly speak at conferences and give testimonials about our innovative approach at companies, schools and universities.

Our international team

Today, Kinomé is composed of 5 chapters, with a team of 14 experts in Africa and Latin America thus facilitating the deployment of our activities and our partnerships.
