If you missed the “Bridge the Gap” awareness walk In Buruku, Benue state, don’t worry, we got you covered!!
While at Buruku, the climate conversation moved from dialogue to the streets.
Through the BRIDGE project implemented by Crest Research and Development Institute (CRADI), communities learned about the true impact of climate change. They more than just participated in the walk, they took ownership of the strategic response initiative.
Because of the project initiative, farmers are embracing improved practices, families are embracing the idea of tree planting to mitigate the effects of climate change, and local groups are rethinking how best to manage water and land.
The awareness walk led by CRADI and PODBETA NG brought together community leaders, women’s groups, persons with disabilities, and elders, each sharing how the trainings have strengthened their resilience and renewed their commitment to protecting shared resources.
This is what the BRIDGE project stands for: informed communities, practical solutions, and collective action rooted in local realities.
