GAYO operates as a pan-African organization, with active programming and partnerships across multiple African countries, and a growing footprint as we scale. We work through locally rooted teams and trusted national collaborators, ensuring each initiative is led by the realities, priorities, and leadership of the communities it serves.
Zero Waste Cities
Reimagining urban systems through community-driven approaches that reduce pollution and extraction, protect public health, and advance circular models rooted in reuse, repair, and shared responsibility.
Advancing fair and inclusive climate transitions that safeguard workers and communities, redistribute risks and benefits, and ensure those most affected by environmental and economic change help shape the future of their economies.
Building community-led capacity to respond to climate impacts, reduce vulnerability, and strengthen collective wellbeing, centering local knowledge, carensystems, and long-term security in the face of environmental change.
Expanding access to descent, safe, and future-facing green work that supports climate solutions, strengthens local economies, and enables people to thrive within sustainable and just systems.
