IGD believes that policy plays a crucial role in determining the sustainability of a country. Consequently, we are always at the forefront aiming to support, recommend, and influence policies and decisions in the public discourse.
GS&L/VS&L Associations
Economic empowerment and social inclusion can be achieved through the forming of associations. This helps them enhance their savings, improve social ties, & enhance access to loans.
Tree Planting
Trees supply air, improve the quality of water, minimize noise pollution, prevent erosion, create shade, provide timber & fruits, and make the environment beautiful. It is also a home of some animals & plants.
Soil Conservation
Soil is a crucial part of most ecosystems. We cannot afford to lose it anymore with the ever-growing global population. Actually, there is need to reclaim the lost ones.
Capacity Building
A mind can only be changed positively if the information and resources are provided. We believe that if we are to ensure sustainability, we must improve and retain skills and knowledge in the community.
Consultancy Services
We are endowed with experts in diverse fields. As a community aiming at maximizing the utilization of resources, consultancy is how we share our human resources.
Creativity
“There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” —Edward de Bono
