About Us

WEP-TOGO is a non-political, non-profit women-led organization that plays a vital role in mobilizing and engaging women and youth in the sustainable management of natural resources.

Founded on June 13, 2014, WEP-TOGO has established itself as a driving force for women’s empowerment and environmental preservation in Togo. Officially recognized by the Ministry of Territorial Administration, Decentralization, and Local Authorities under registration number 0630/MATDCL SGDLPAP-DOCA dated September 16, 2015, the organization has solidified its presence and commitment to the communities it serves.

Its transition to official NGO status was formalized on August 8, 2019, under number 986/MPDC/2019, marking a new chapter in its growth and its ability to positively influence environmental governance.

WEP-TOGO has established local branches in several key prefectures including Agou, Vo, Zio, Lacs, Yoto, Tchaoudjo, and Kozah enabling broad outreach and meaningful impact across the country. These branches reflect WEP-TOGO’s commitment to building a strong network of women leaders and engaged youth, all dedicated to environmental stewardship and social progress.
