KIND partners with the Embassy of Japan in Nigeria to achieve SDGs

02.26.17

The Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND) in partnership with the Embassy of Japan in Nigeria is set to empower women farmers in Ogun state.

The aim of the initiative is to assist the farmers at the grassroots level with processing cassava into the finished product – Garri in this case.

This will improve production and in turn the overall standard of living of the farmers and their community in line with the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).

This initiative is in line with SDG goals.

  • No Poverty
  • No Hunger
  • Gender Equality
  • Good jobs and economic growth
  • Partnership for the goals

Below is a picture of KIND and Japan Embassy Staff visiting the Ayetoro farmers and carrying out studies for the Garri processing machine initiative:

KIND-Japanese Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Project (GGP) (2016)

KIND-Japanese Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Project (GGP)

KIND was one of the 7 organizations out of an applicant pool of 200 that secured a grant from the Japanese Government to construct a 6 Classroom block with 4 toilets for Imoro Community Nursery/Primary School in Sagamu Local Government Area (LGA) of Ogun State. The grant also provided for 158 sets of chairs and desks for the students, and 7 tables ad 8 chairs for the teachers. The LGA was the only one out of the 20 in the state that elected a woman to chair its Government Council, hence our selection of the school to communicate the message ‘everyone wins when women are given an opportunity to serve in public office!’

“The Japanese Government would like to work with your Organization in 2016 because this project turned out to be one of the best of the type funded for the year.”

 

Junior Kudra project (2016 – Till date)

Junior Kudra

Junior Kudra in Schools is a leadership development programme which KIND offers in some secondary schools in Lagos State. The Kudra Girls going through the training are between 10 to 16 years of age. KIND develops their capacities in the areas of Leadership skills, Financial Management, Emotional Intelligence and Advocacy. After the training the girls form Kudra clubs so as to deepen their understanding of the concepts they were taught, practice what they have learnt, work together to create more awareness of girls’ rights in their community, and foster the sustainability of the programme.

350 pupils have benefitted from this programme since it began in 2006.  Besides this training programme, during the year we secured a fund from UNICEF to document the features of the Junior Kudra Programme.  Our goal in documenting Junior Kudra is  to create a model for other organizations that may want to replicate and thereby expand its benefits to other children.

 Recommendation from UN Secretariat:

The Junior Kudra Girls Education Initiative is “a unique community network approach that is very organic … the program is not just about putting in money and getting something out of it, but about the wholesome “non-linear” approach that build something for the community”

 

From the Program Consultant:
“Junior Kudra  program has a very innovative approach, which is what drew me to your organization a few years ago. It is like none other I have seen. I am glad the program will get more international visibility through the United Nations Girls Education Initiatives (UNGEI) funding. I strongly believe the program will flourish under your excellent leadership”
