Mr.Anthony Aidoo, M.Phil

He is the founder and former Executive Director of COFOSODE, where he provided invaluable leadership and guidance. Prior to his work with COFOSODE, he worked as a tutor at Asuansi College of Agriculture in Ghana, where he inspired and educated young minds about the importance of agriculture and environmental conservation.

In 1994, he founded Communities Forestry and Social Development organization, which later became Communities Forestry And Social Development International (COFOSODE), now Communities Forestry Network.

Throughout his career, he has represented COFOSODE at numerous local and international conferences, where he shared his experiences and expertise with other organizations and stakeholders. His engagements with Ecosoc, Unep, and other international humanitarian and environmental organizations were instrumental in advancing the organization’s mission.

He has dedicated his life to making a positive difference in the world, and his contributions to the fields of social and environmental development are truly remarkable.
