Sustainable Development
Meeting the needs of the present, without compromising the needs of the future.
Greenpop aims to assist rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals through contextually relevant programmes.
We’ve been running sustainable development projects since 2012.
Since 2012, Greenpop has designed and implemented various programmes which support the Sustainable Development Goals. These include programmes which focus on:
- poverty reduction (SDG-1);
- hunger reduction (SDG-2);
- responsible consumption (SDG-12);
- climate action (SDG-13); and
- protecting and restoring life on land (SDG-15).
Our Programme Outcomes
- To provide locally relevant training and resources to support the Sustainable Development Goals to help communities mitigate and adapt to climate change
- To increase ecosystem services
- To empower both men and women to value and actively manage their natural assets
