The heart of our mission and the reason for our existence is to ensure a planetary promotion of the best of what each African or group of Africans has as a project. It can also be anything that Africans offer as goods and services or what they seek, on the basis of a win-win partnership, both financially and technically. Our idea at “Saigloin–Africa” is not to promote an Africa that turns in on itself, that lives in autarky. No !
This is why every country, every people, every business owner in this world, can advertise with us. In doing so, they present, not only, the best of what they have for Africa, but they also take advantage of the power and the charm of the Internet and show the world what they offer.
Back to the millennium development goals started In 2000
It is important to take full measure of the real urgency that there is to make a strong commitment to achieving the current Sustainable Development Goals. For this, let’s dive back into the issues that prevailed and that led decision-makers around the world to adopt, in 2000, the Millennium Development Goals. This helps to better gauge what each’s commitment has been, what each has been unwilling or unable to do, or able to achieve for the benefit of all humanity.

“Manon Festival“
Discovering the hidden treasures of Tonkpi
Since its creation on May 27, 2012, the NGO Ecotourism Côte d’Ivoire (ECO-CI) has established itself as a key player in sustainable development and tourism promotion in Côte d’Ivoire. Committed to social mobilization, women’s empowerment, the fight against climate change, and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage, it is also involved in promoting agrotourism, a rapidly expanding sector.
Thanks to a meticulous inventory of the natural and cultural riches of the Montagnes District, the NGO has identified numerous exceptional sites, true gems for Ivorian and international tourism.
An exceptional natural and cultural heritage
The Mountain District is home to unique natural and cultural wonders, perfect for an immersive and authentic experience. Among the sites listed by the NGO ECO-CI are:
Magnificent landscapes and preserved natural sites
Mount Sangbé National Park, located between Biankouma,
Touba, and Séguéla, a refuge for flora and fauna.
Mount Péko National Park, an ecological gem in the Guémon region.
Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, shared between Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, and Liberia.
The Zadêpleu Natural Waterfalls in Man, ideal for a refreshing getaway.
The Sacred Monkey Forest of Gbêpleu in Man, a legendary site where nature and spirituality coexist.
The sacred catfish of Dompleu and Guianlé, fish revered for their mystical qualities.
The natural caves of Dongouiné, Sogalé, and Gouakpalé, legendary caves steeped in history.
.
A rich and vibrant cultural heritage
The historic Sipilou mosque and the town’s historic Catholic church, witnesses to the religious and cultural melting pot.
The Douêpleu vine bridge, the longest in the region at 120 meters long and 50 meters high, spanning the Cavally River.
The Gleugoualé rock, an impressive and symbolic rock formation.
Guélémou, the place where Almamy Samory Touré was arrested, a site steeped in history.
.
The Manon Festival: a showcase for agrotourism and local culture
To promote this exceptional heritage, the NGO ECO-CI organizes the Manon Festival (Festival of Agrotourism, Arts, Culture, and the Promotion of Rural Women) every year. This major gathering, which brought together more than 30,000 participants during the 7th edition, from May 10 to 12, 2024, in Logoualé, highlights the traditions, agricultural know-how, and legendary hospitality of the people of the Mountain District.
Ecotourism in Tonkpi
A New Vision for Tourism in Côte d’Ivoire
In a world where mass tourism increasingly threatens local ecosystems and cultures, ecotourism is positioning itself as a responsible and sustainable alternative. In Côte d’Ivoire, the Tonkpi region, located in the Autonomous District of Montagnes, is full of exceptional natural and cultural resources that deserve to be protected and enhanced. The NGO Écotourisme Côte d’Ivoire (ECO-CI) is committed to this goal by promoting tourism that respects the environment and local communities.
An Ambitious Project for Sustainable Tourism
The main objective of this project is clear: to make ecotourism a lever for economic development while preserving the environment and cultural heritage of Tonkpi. Specifically, this involves:
Identifying and cataloguing all tourist sites in the region.
Raising awareness among local populations and visitors about environmental protection and respect for cultures.
Providing economic opportunities for residents through sustainable tourism activities.
Encouraging authentic exchanges between tourists and local communities.
Developing ecological infrastructure adapted to ensure a harmonious tourist experience.
The Benefits of Ecotourism in Tonkpi
The ECO-CI initiative is based on a win-win approach:
A local economic boost: Ecotourism creates new job opportunities and encourages artisanal activities, restaurants, and eco-friendly accommodation.
Nature preservation: By promoting biodiversity and limiting human impact on ecosystems, the project promotes sustainable management of natural resources. Promoting cultural heritage: Tonkpi, with its ancestral traditions and indigenous peoples, will be able to preserve and share its heritage with visitors while respecting its customs.
Improving infrastructure and services: Developing ecotourism involves investments in roads, accommodations, and services, thus improving the quality of life for local residents.
Educational and responsible tourism: Visitors come not simply to admire the beauty of the landscapes, but also to learn and get involved in positive actions for the community.
A call to action for a greener future
The ecotourism project in Tonkpi is not limited to simple tourism development. It embodies a new vision of tourism in Côte d’Ivoire, where respect for nature and local cultures is central.
Every traveler, every business, and every local stakeholder has a role to play in this adventure. By choosing more responsible tourism, we contribute together to the protection of our heritage and the prosperity of future generations.
The NGO Ecotourisme Côte d’Ivoire therefore invites all stakeholders committed to greener and more humane tourism to join this dynamic and make Tonkpi a leading ecotourism destination in West Africa.
Fréderic Flan (General Commissioner) at the launch of the “Manon Festival” 2025:
“Danané now becomes the official headquarters of the “Manon Festival””
On March 7, 2025, Danané Town Hall was filled with excitement for the second official launch of the 8th edition of the Manon Festival. This major cultural event, led by the NGO Ecotourisme Côte d’Ivoire, promises to be exceptional and will be held from May 9 to 12, 2025.

A festival dedicated to sustainable development
Sponsored by the Minister of Culture and Francophonie, Françoise Remarck, the Manon Festival 2025 aims to go beyond a mere festive occasion.
This event showcases the natural, agricultural, and cultural riches of the Tonkpi region, with an ambitious program combining ecotourism, gastronomy, and ancestral traditions. The mayor of Danané, Lanciné
Diabaté Kalifa, welcomed this initiative, affirming his commitment to supporting any project that promotes the empowerment of women and youth, as well as the promotion of sustainable tourism.
A broad mobilization
The event brought together prominent figures, administrative and military officials, as well as representatives of the NGO Écotourisme Côte d’Ivoire. Not to mention traditional authorities, religious leaders, and women’s cooperatives in the department, thus demonstrating the importance of the festival for the local community. In a vibrant statement, Frédéric Flan recalled the essence of the festival: “The Manon Festival is not simply a celebration, it is a call to action for sustainable, responsible, and inclusive development. We want to make our region a model of ecotourism and agrotourism, sources of employment and preservation of our natural heritage.” Danané is therefore preparing to welcome thousands of festival-goers for four days of celebration and discovery. See you from May 9 to 12, 2025, for an immersion in the heart of the Manon Festival, a symbol of the region’s dynamism and cultural renewal!
