EU renews partnership with Togolese Agency for Volunteering, for another five years

(Togo First) - Togo will renew its partnership with Togo’s National Agency for Volunteering (ANVT), for another five years. This was announced on December 5, 2022, on the International Day for Volunteering (IDV).

Over the past five years, the EU delegation helped deploy around 155 volunteers in Togo and contributed about CFA100 million as part of its partnership with the ANVT.

"Togo is exceptional regarding its volunteer program. It is really a large-scale program that allows young Togolese, not only job seekers, to have a professional experience, but also young people who have dropped out of school to get their foot in the door, and to get better chances for a professional future," said Hugo van Tilborg, Cooperation Officer and representative of the European Union delegation. "For the European Union, youth employment is something crucial, and that is why we support this volunteer program in Togo, through the ANVT," he added.

Togo launched its volunteer program 10 years ago and it has had since then more than 56,000 volunteers involved in various projects, in the sectors of education, environmental protection, health, and support to rural communities.
