Well Grounded works in Africa, with a strategic focus on three Congo Basin countries:
1 Democratic Republic of Congo
2 Republic of Congo
3 Republic of Cameroon.
The Congo Basin is one of the richest regions in natural resources while being significantly poorer in terms of social and environmental justice. The vision for natural resource exploitation is very short-term with little of the profits derived filtering down to the level of the communities who depend on these same resources. The level of agency amongst the worst affected and most marginalised is next to non-existent, yet these are the very people whose voices need to be heard most.
Well Grounded will continue to take on opportunities outside the Congo Basin where they can offer opportunities to explore new issues or to experiment with a new approach bringing new learning to our organisation and our clients.
