Building Water-Smart Communities for Climate Resilience in Gella

Image
In Gella Community of Mubi South Local Government Area, water is more than a resource — it is a lifeline for farming, health, and survival. Yet years of water scarcity, inefficient irrigation, and poor household water practices have placed increasing pressure on livelihoods, especially for women and smallholder farmers. To address these challenges, Alimat Care Foundation (ACF), with support from UNDP GEF/SGP, conducted a two-day hands-on training aimed at strengthening community capacity in water-efficient agriculture, household water management, sanitation, and hygiene in Gella Community. Held on 16–19 December, the training brought together 400 community members, with women making up 60% of participants, alongside youth and persons with disabilities. Using participatory learning methods, the sessions blended indigenous knowledge with practical climate-smart solutions tailored to the community’s realities. Participants learned low-cost rainwater harvesting techniques, simple water pur...

From Training to Action: Climate-Smart Farming Takes Root in Gella

Image
Turning knowledge into action is critical for lasting impact. Following intensive training on climate-smart agricultural practices, Alimat Care Foundation, with support from UNDP GEF-SGP, officially launched farming activities on the Gella climate-smart demonstration farm through the distribution of improved seeds and renewable-energy-powered farm inputs. The one-day activity marked a major milestone in operationalising the project Indigenous Erosion Control Through Climate-Smart Agricultural Practices. The demonstration farm serves as a living classroom where farmers can see, practice, and replicate climate-resilient solutions within their own farms. Improved seed varieties, solar panels, and solar-powered generators were deployed as shared community resources to support sustainable irrigation and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Two hundred (200) trained farmers were mobilised and organised into 10 farm clusters, each responsible for a demonstration plot. Leadership was intentionally...

Community-Led Action Drives Water Conservation in Gella

Image
Sustainable environmental change begins when entire communities take ownership. In Gella Community, this belief came alive during a one-day community-wide water conservation awareness campaign led by Alimat Care Foundation under the UNDP GEF-SGP-funded project. Building on earlier farmer trainings, the campaign extended key water preservation messages beyond farms to households, women, youth, and community leaders — recognising that water management is everyone’s responsibility. Using door-to-door engagement, locally produced IEC materials, and audio jingles in Hausa and Fulfulde, the campaign reached over 800 community members. Messages highlighted the link between water conservation, health, climate-smart agriculture, and household wellbeing. Participants praised the use of local language and inclusive messaging. Women, who manage household water daily, noted that the campaign provided simple, practical actions they could immediately apply. Young people expressed a renewed sense of r...
