UPDATES FOR OCTOBER TO DECEMBER 2016
AGGEM JOINS THE POLLINATION GRANTEE LIST
We shall receiving our first seed grant of USD 1000, for a pilot project to engage with farmers in Bafut and Mankon on the use of Local Indigenous Knowledge and Practices for the production of staple foods. This is a significant achievement for us joining the grantee list as it is one of most important way to increase the visibility of the work we are doing and engaging in very impactful work with our target communities beginning in January 2016.
FUNDRAISING
We have also sent out a couple of projects including the DAP of the Australia High Commission at Abuja (to promote transboundary conservation and production of organic food using local indigenous knowledge and practices between North West and South West Nigeria), the International Tree Foundation (ITF), Crowder Grant and the IVOH’s Restorative Narrative which seeks to promote a new media landscape in which we seek to listen to the voices of real players on the scene and making those voices heard beyond where they are generated. We are having positive signals from this direction.
