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.

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.

Before the insurgency, the Northeast has been declared as one of the most educational disadvantaged regions in the country. The insurgency activities have further impacted negatively on education and this has to be taken seriously. We have supported 5000 in-school pupils with access to uniform, textbooks, writing and reading materials, teaching aids, school sandal and shoe this increases school enrolment while enhancing the capacity of 130 teachers in 13 primary schools in Michika LGA
