What Conseils et Appui pour l'Education à la Base does

Conseils et Appui pour l'Education à la Base (CAEB) is a Malian non-governmental humanitarian organization founded in April 1994 by young national cadres to support disadvantaged and vulnerable populations through sustainable self-promotion. Headquartered in Bamako with a regional bureau inaugurated in Sikasso in February 2024 and additional operational offices across Koulikoro, Kayes, Ségou, Mopti, Nioro, Dioïla, Bankass, Koro, Bougouni, and Diéma, CAEB delivers integrated programs across four departments — Education, Agriculture, Health/WASH, and Humanitarian — with cross-cutting focus on gender and governance. Its main programs include JIGIYA (youth reproductive health and leadership via the CAEB-Cordaid Alliance, reaching over 2.1 million young people), PEAC (UNICEF-backed child protection in crisis settings), PADEM (education decentralization with Save the Children and the EU, 2024-2028), PASARC (food security with HUMUNDI), the Great Green Wall climate-resilience initiative, the multi-country PRESU Sahel and Dambe Funds Sahel programs across seven Sahelian countries, and "Powered By Women" with CARE International Mali (2026-2029).

CAEB operates a non-commercial, grant-funded business model: services are delivered free of charge to community beneficiaries, while revenue is sourced from international development partners and bilateral donors, including the European Union, UNICEF, Save the Children, WFP, ECHO, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Stromme Foundation, HUMUNDI, Cordaid, Amplifychange, GIZ, Kerk in Actie, CARE International Mali, and others. Its go-to-market is community-led, relying on local animateurs, community health workers, youth leaders, religious leaders, and grassroots structures across 6+ Malian regions, with program reach amplified through radio broadcasts, community theatre, sport-and-culture events, and a network of over 210 partner health facilities and 908+ communities that have signed abandonment agreements against FGM and child marriage. The organization has no proprietary technology stack, sells no products, and discloses no financial figures; its underlying platform is the local-office-plus-partner-consortium operating model that has been refined over 30 years.
