About the committee
The Gender and Development committee comprises a team of Peace Corps volunteers (PCVs) in Togo along with an advisor from admin who work towards the expansion of gender and development in Peace Corps Togo. This includes creating gender-focused events, funding gender-focused projects, and training PCVs on gender concerns specific to Togo. Since the committee is a PCV run committee, there is no official funding source that we tap into; thus, the committee is wholly funded through the generosity of our PCVs and their families, PC Togo Staff, US Embassy in Togo Staff, and Ex-Pats living in Togo. Through this small grants fund, the committee works to supplement gender and development activities that volunteers are doing throughout Togo. Additionally, during summer vacation, the committee uses a separately funded Vacation Enterprise Fund to create opportunities for students on vacation to gain entrepreneurial skills and make some money to support them during the school year.
