CECI’s Volunteer Cooperation Program

CECI’s new volunteer cooperation program aims to improve the economic and social well-being of 2 million of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people, including at least 1.5 million women and young women.

CECI believes in the potential of women s agents of change, placing them at the heart of the program.

CECI is specifically looking to strengthen the position and leadership of women and young women for a sustainable and inclusive development. By sharing their skills and know-how, and by working closely with local partners, CECI’s volunteers work for the
economic empowerment of women and young women, and to build the resilience of communities in the face of climate change.
