Part 1: Main Outcomes

[edit]

1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented

  • Strategy 1: Mobilizing and sensitizing undergraduate Nigerian youths on open climate

    • The project educated youths in the following selected Nigerian universities, University of Ilorin, Federal University Kashere, University of Port Harcourt, University of Ibadan, Summit University Offa, and the University of Benin, on climate and environmental issues through outreach and advocacy visits. This was done with the help of mission-aligned organizations like the Friends of Earth Nigeria/Environmental Right Action, Lekan Bakare Foundation and the Africa Network for Environment & Economic Justice (ANEEJ). The project followed a train-the-trainer technique where the leaders of the selected Fan Clubs were trained and given proper insight on what the project is all about, to enable them to effectively share their gained knowledge with members of their clubs. The fan club leaders were trained using some self-developed, project-focused materials, as well as some materials from the outreach dashboard.
