We Drive Community-led Development

Civic Village International believes in breaking the cycle of dependency, social inequalities, and poverty by investing in West African communities and empowering them to become self-reliant and prosperous. We work with and collaborate with communities directly to provide the necessary tools to thrive through training and skills transfer to community members to turn them into individuals who have the solutions to the problems facing their communities. 

We believe each community is unique, and therefore tailor our poverty reduction programs to the specific social realities through a bottom-up approach where community members are the main drivers of change. This is backed by our central pillars of green building training, community farming and sustainable agriculture, skills and entrepreneurship development, education, and natural resource management and conservation.
