M&E Mission: Climate Action in Ghana & Gambia
As part of the Low Grant Funding Project by the ECOWAS Youth and Sports Development Centre (EYSDC), National Volunteering Agencies in the ECOWAS region have been driving impactful environmental projects. With funding support, The World View, The Gambia, and the Coalition of Volunteering Organizations (COVOG), Ghana, implemented key climate resilience initiatives—leading to our recent Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) mission.

♻ Ghana: Waste Management & Agriculture
