Group Description

Igoji ELC is located in Igoji Market, Meru County. It is a 32 km drive from Meru Town.

The ELC is equipped with the necessary infrastructure and training materials and offers GALS training and consultative services on demand at affordable fees.
The ELC is relatively new as it was established and started in 2019, and has just started its journey towards being registered as a legal entity.
Igoji ELC is strategically linked to the Upper Tana Natural Resources Management Project supported by IFAD, and has already supported the development and rollout of the GALS Methodology to over 100 champions.
