Greening Africa. Creating Wealth for Communities.

We drive climate-smart innovation and private-sector competitiveness to protect the environment, create jobs, and build resilient African economies.

About Us

The International Centre for Green Solutions & Innovation (ICGSI) is a development catalyst that drives climate-smart innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable wealth creation across Africa.

We work with governments, donors, and the private sector to design and implement transformative projects that restore ecosystems, create jobs for youth and women, and deliver measurable climate impact.

Grounded in science, innovation, and local knowledge, The Institute for Climate, Green Solutions and Innovation (ICGSI) serves as a regional hub for research, policy engagement, and practical interventions that foster resilience and sustainability. By integrating cutting-edge technologies such as climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy, early warning systems, and data-driven decision-making tools, the Institute aims to bridge the gap between policy and practice.
