THEMATIC AREAS OF INTERVENTION

CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Climate change is perhaps the most serious environmental threat to the fight against hunger, malnutrition. diseases and poverty in African. Climate change that was once a far distance issue has shown itself in the Northeast which is threatening the food security of the population. ECF builds resilience and promotes local adaptation and mitigation strategies. We promote environmentally friendly activities and farming through introduction of climate smart agriculture etc. we observe UN days especially WED, WDD, WHD etc . ECF in collaboration with the State Ministry of Environment has recently launched a project the Green Adamawa Project (GAP) with mandate to plant four million trees in four years. This was supported by the State Governor. Primary and secondary schools’ students and pupils are constantly educated on climate change issues and exposing them to disaster risk reduction strategies to protect and preserve the environment.

FOOD SECURITY /LIVELIHOODS AND EMPOWERMENT

Despite the fact that more than 70% of the population in the Northeast are involved in agriculture as the major source of livelihood, their food security is still being threatened. The physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life is poor and unsustainable. ECF focus to leverage on the community’s potential to improve their livelihoods through sustainable agricultural activities and empowerment activities Our major livelihoods strategy is through facilitating access to agricultural inputs, livestock, technical support and engaging them into meaningful and sustainable agriculture venture.

GOOD GOVERNANCE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

No development can be achieved in any society where peace is fragile or absent. ECF has been engaged in promoting peace through various strategies based on issues and target group. Promote peaceful coexistence for development. We also promote community development and empower communities to take up the right based approach to solving their problems by enhancing the community members’ capacity to drive the process.

PEACE BUILDING AND COMMUNITY COHESION

In 2016 after measuring the impacts, our partners advised and supported us to expand the activities to 32 clubs from the communities. The seven-month activities supported by NERI were aimed at expanding peace by engaging the youths through football and peace building meetings. Huge success was made at various stage of the implementation. The activities involve over 1000 youths in 16 wards of Michika LGAThe objective of this project is to promote peaceful- coexistence

EDUCATION

Education is the bedrock of development and every individual and community required education to be useful to themselves and the society. Education is crucial in determining the level of social capital of any community. ECF promotes and facilitates access to quality education either through infrastructural and materials support, teaching aids and enhancing the quality of teachers. We believe education is a right especially to the children and should be free at primary level.

Climate Smart Kids (CSK)

ECF has been very particular in encouraging children and youth participation on the contemporary global climate challenge as they are the most vulnerable of the population.

In 2018 we started engaging primary school pupils educating and encouraging them to respond to earth most urgent call. As a result, a quiet number of children were reoriented on the man and earth relationship. They were deliberately positioned to understand the two-way affairs between us and our environment, they were also taught to largely believe that the state of our climate is also dependent on their approach to earth. The program groomed them to be grass root catalysts for change in relation to climate change.
