Description/notes
GAYO is a youth-led gender-balanced advocacy group that focuses largely on environmental sustainability and community development. They work directly with local communities to reduce the vulnerability of groups that are at risk of climate impacts such as children, youth and women. Additionally, they have researched and written reports on Ghana’s progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the way forward for the country. (website)
Our mission is to research and provide solutions to pressing environmental issues through youth empowerment, skills development and public education. We work directly with local communities to reduce the vulnerability of groups that are at risk of climate impacts such as children, youth and women who have a comparatively less adaptive capacity due to social and structural inequalities. Our key areas are climate change, circular economy, and disaster risk reduction.
