Mayotte launches environmental project calls

The Department-Region of Mayotte has announced two new initiatives focused on environmental protection and community engagement. These projects aim to address both ecological and social challenges in the region through coordinated efforts.

First project focuses on waterway maintenance

The first call for projects is centered on the cleaning and maintenance of waterways, encouraging local residents to participate in these efforts. This initiative seeks to improve the health of rivers and other water bodies while fostering community involvement.

Second project includes youth training

The second call combines the restoration of natural areas with a commitment to training 100 young people aged 16 to 25. These individuals, who face challenges in finding employment, will be trained over a three-year period as part of the environmental restoration work.

Target sites include key natural areas

The restoration efforts will focus on specific natural sites, including the Badamiers mudflat, the Mahabou point, and the Karihani lake. These locations are considered important for both ecological and environmental reasons.

Applications open for the projects

Interested organizations can apply for the projects between October 29 and November 30, 2026. Detailed information about the application process and requirements is available on the official website at www.mayotte.fr.
