Institute for Community Partnerships and Sustainable Development

Promoting and supporting community-driven development through partnerships and the sharing of knowledge and expertise.

We work with local communities in a unique, holistic approach, blending science-based and local knowledge to bolster local communities in improving environmental and economic resilience, with a focus on youth and women.



ICPSD's approach directly targets building knowledge and awareness around land management, agroforestry and other sustainable approaches by contributing to and supporting community-led education, outreach, and resources for the reforestation of native plant species. Women have a leading role in the business of farming and agricultural value chains regionally throughout Togo. We are partnered with a local women's cooperative who lead our workshop, nursery production, and outplanting efforts. We engage youth of the community in nursery and restoration activities while supporting their education and leadership development.



By supporting reforestation efforts in Togo, you directly (1) participate in the re-establishment of healthy forest structure, (2) support conservation knowledge-building and educational outreach activities, and (3) increase accessibility to education and resiliency resources for women and youth.
