Voix du Paysan pour former et informer les citoyens : un engagement pour la justice sociale et climatique.
In a context marked by environmental degradation, climate change, and pressure on natural resources, the organization Droits, Environnement et Citoyenneté (DEC-RDC) positions itself as a key player in the ecological transition within the African Great Lakes region. Through its website www.dec-rdc.org, it develops grassroots actions aimed at raising awareness among citizens — particularly young people — about urgent environmental challenges and best practices for a sustainable future.

Ecological education adapted to local realities
DEC-RDC’s approach is based on hands-on learning that emphasizes learning by doing. Through training sessions, workshops, and field activities, the organization connects environmental knowledge to the realities of local communities. It is not only about transmitting knowledge but also about building a collective awareness around ecosystem preservation and climate justice.
Citizen mobilization and community leadership
DEC-RDC encourages the direct involvement of citizens in ecological initiatives: reforestation campaigns, community clean-ups, waste management, and protection of lakes and forests. These actions aim to foster local leadership capable of influencing behaviors, acting in the public interest, and pressing for more responsible environmental governance.

Towards a sustainable and climate-resilient culture
The organization relies on the resilience of communities in the face of climate challenges by promoting local, inclusive, and sustainable solutions. Its goal is to nurture an ecological culture rooted in the values of solidarity, responsibility, and equity. By mobilizing both awareness and skills, DEC-RDC is paving the way toward rural development that respects the environment and looks to the future.
