After much anticipation and planning, I am proud to announce that Breaking Ground formally established its first official partnership this past Thursday. Our new partner is RIDEV (the Research Institute for Development), based in Bafoussam in the West of Cameroon, just an hour from Dschang. RIDEV's programs are perfectly complementary to ours, and in collaboration with them, we will be stepping up our system of evaluating both a community's level of mobilization as well as the success of the project after its realization. Additionally, our work with RIDEV will provide our "partner communities" with access to capacity building programs in the fields of revenue generation, community health (with a focus on HIV/AIDS), information technology, and more.
