The 24 civil society organizations were selected from 93 received applications following a comprehensive evaluation and screening of their ideas and the potential to bring about positive change in their communities.

The ideas developed by CSOs strive to bring projects and endeavors that address the requirements and obstacles faced by the community in Togo. These initiatives concentrate on areas such as the empowerment of women and youth, science and technology, health and medical aid, as well as environmental concerns and rural development. Furthermore, they also prioritize the enhancement of women's and children's health.

Through the program, the selected civil society organizations will participate in an online training program that enables the organizations to raise funds using crowdfunding, an innovative and alternative tool for fundraising. The selected CSOs will develop their crowdfunding campaign through e-learning tools and offline training using learning materials, presentations, work assignments, and guidance from leading crowdfunding experts.

Upon completing the CFA training program, all participants will be able to launch their crowdfunding campaigns on local or international crowdfunding platforms.

Looking forward to seeing these organizations develop their crowdfunding campaigns.
