Applications are now open for the Capacity Building Training on Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Kano, Nigeria. This opportunity is designed specifically for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) who are passionate about learning, community impact, and climate action.
The programme is organised by the Disability Projects Initiative (DPI) with support from the Disability Rights Fund (DRF). It aims to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to respond to climate change challenges in their communities.
About the Training
Climate change continues to affect communities across Northern Nigeria through rising temperatures, flooding, and irregular weather patterns. Persons with Disabilities are often more exposed to these challenges due to limited access to information and resources.
This training seeks to close that gap by empowering PWDs with the tools needed to understand climate change and take action. Participants will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical strategies that can be applied in real life.
Training Objectives
Participants will benefit from:
- Understanding the basics of climate change and its local effects
- Learning practical ways to adapt to environmental changes
- Gaining skills to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability
- Building confidence to engage in climate advocacy and community action
Eligibility Criteria
This opportunity is open to:
- Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)
- Residents of Kano State, Nigeria
- Individuals willing to learn and participate actively
Applicants from different disability groups are encouraged to apply to ensure inclusion and diversity.
Why You Should Apply
This is more than just a training. It is an opportunity to become part of a growing movement that ensures persons with disabilities are not left behind in climate action.
Participants will be equipped to:
- Protect themselves and their communities
- Contribute to environmental sustainability
- Become advocates for inclusive climate policies
Important Note
The training is strictly for Persons with Disabilities living in Kano State. The organisers aim to reach as many eligible participants as possible.
