Welcome To
Goro Initiative
We work on mitigating conflict risk and advancing environmental peacebuilding and climate security.
About Us
Conceptualized in 2018 as the Goro network, it transitioned into operational status in 2019 under the name of Goro Initiative— an online platform to advance the understanding, action and dialogue on climate, conflict and humanitarian trends in the Sahel-Saharan regions.
In 2024, the Goro Initiative rescoped and morphed into a non-profit organization working to advance peace, environmental conservation and climate security. This change resulted from the need to enhance the capacity of the organization to develop and implement important projects aimed at strengthening resilience.
