 An NGO, Save the Slum Initiative, says it is building the capacity of four communities through dialogue to develop actionable strategies for climate resilience in Kaduna.

Its Executive Director, Samuel Adeyinka, made this known in Kaduna on Monday, at the end of its 4-day separate discussion with four local communities on impacts of climate change.

Adeyinka explained that Save the Slum Initiative, with support from Nigeria Youth SDGs and the German Mission in Nigeria is engaging with community to dialogue on climate policy and action.

He said the aim of the community dialogue was to engage local population in discussions about the impacts of climate change and to collaboratively develop actionable strategies for climate resilience.

Adeyinka said: “Through these dialogues, the NGO will empower the community members by fostering awareness, while encouraging proactive solutions tailored to their unique environmental challenges.

“The discussions have resulted in actionable plans, including the establishment of environmental task forces, tree planting initiatives, and improved waste management practices.

“It is essential that we continue supporting these communities in implementing their action plans, ensuring that the solutions remain culturally relevant and effectively address the local impacts of climate change.

“By empowering communities to take ownership of their environmental challenges, we can foster sustainable practices that promote resilience and enhance the quality of life for all community members.”

The Executive Director disclosed that the communities included, Sabon Tasha, Romi in Chikun LGA and Nassarawa, Kurmi Mashi in Kaduna South LGA, adding that a total of 100 participants were involved.

He said some of the major challenges encountered were, waste management, soil degradation, flooding and unpredictable weather patterns affecting agricultural productivity.

NAN reports that some of the participants who spoke assured the NGO of implementing the strategies developed in their various communities.
