Stimulating Partnership for Africa

Femsud Consult is a private company registered early in 1999 in the Netherlands. Beside regular visits to Africa, we very closely monitor events in, on or affecting Africa. Being in Wageningen, we are in the midst of the Dutch agricultural and land development expertise. We are also within easy reach of most European centres involved with Africa. We are in active communication with many of these agencies.

We play an intermediary role - to ensure good communication between the North and South. Where there are problems, we try to help sort these out. We also perform representation roles for the South in the North and of the North in the South. We help to explain the North in the South and vice versa, e.g. in specialist forums, public events, development debates, etc.

We focus on helping to address the plight of women in Africa as they fight poverty. We believe that our native background, professional up-bringing and exposure best positioned us to help to make a difference in work in or with Africa. We also believe that there are many others with good-will. We all can only be effective if we work together. We therefore believe that our priority is to facilitate that partnership for Africa.
