Jeunes Volontaires pour l'Environnement

YVE is a non-governmental organisation, created in 2001, seated in Lomé, Togo. The organisation has over 40 local branches, and through affiliates in a total of 21 countries in Africa, YVE is today known as the biggest youth-oriented environmental movement on the continent. Starting in a small village, working with access to information and education concerning the degrading local environment, the organisation has expanded its geographical and thematic areas of work, but still in the domain of sustainable development. Its activities are focused around access to energy, water and sanitation services; cultural biodiversity and eco-conscience; climate change; and natural resource management.
