At the second Regional Steering Committee of held in N’Djamena, regional and national stakeholders gathered to review progress, strengthen coordination, and reaffirm collective commitments toward inclusive economic and social recovery in the Lake Chad Basin.

The meeting highlighted key achievements, shared priorities, and next steps for supporting vulnerable communities through social cohesion, economic recovery, and stronger regional collaboration across Cameroon, Chad, and Nigeria.

Through partnerships and coordinated action, RESILAC2 continues to support communities affected by crisis and vulnerability while building resilience for a more stable and prosperous future.

🌍 Strengthening resilience across the Lake Chad Basin

The Regional Steering Committee convened in N’Djamena to review progress, tackle key challenges, and validate priorities for 2026.

Since 2018, RESILAC has supported communities in Chad, Cameroon, and Nigeria through interventions focused on social cohesion, governance, stabilization, and economic recovery despite ongoing security, demographic, and climate pressures.

A key milestone in this second phase is the strengthened regional coordination role of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), now chairing the Regional Steering Committee.

Together with partners, we remain committed to building a more resilient future for communities affected by crisis and vulnerability across the region.

Day 3. Abuja. And the room felt different.

The chairs had been arranged in a circle. No podium. No long speeches. Just people facing each other, speaking honestly about the future of Nigeria’s food systems.

By this point, the conversation was no longer about understanding the CAADP process.
It was about making it work.

Participants reflected on the realities many Nigerians already know too well:
rising food prices, climate shocks, insecurity, and the urgent need for stronger investment in agriculture.

But beyond identifying the problems, the discussions focused on action:
✔️ stronger accountability
✔️ better coordination
✔️ evidence-based advocacy
✔️ inclusion of women, youth, and grassroots voices
✔️ and the role of media in shaping public understanding

One statement stayed with the room all day:

“We have written good documents before. The issue now is who is using them, and where are they changing decisions?”

As the workshop continues, the focus is becoming clearer:
less discussion for the sake of discussion, and more commitment to practical action.

Day 2 | Nigeria CAADP Non-State Actors Workshop, Abuja.

This afternoon, the conversation shifted from diagnosis to design.

Participants dug into COANSA’s Governance Framework, Media Engagement Roadmap, and Advocacy Priorities, building the architecture for how non-state actors will coordinate, communicate, and hold government accountable going forward.

The centrepiece was a High-Level Moderated Panel on “Strengthening COANSA towards Inclusive Governance, Accountability, and Effective Coordination.”

Panellists tackled the hard questions: How do we deepen transparency? How do we ensure agricultural budgets actually reach communities? How do we move from citizen participation as a concept to citizen participation as a practice?

The answers pointed to tools already available - open budget tracking, monitoring mechanisms, accountability frameworks - that must now be activated with intent and coordination.

The commitment in the room was clear: shared leadership, communicative power, and transformative advocacy are not aspirations. They are the plan.

One day left. Tomorrow, we close with outcomes.

Day 2 ✔️ | Nigeria CAADP Non-State Actors Workshop, Abuja.

Six voices. One direction.

Today's sessions brought together perspectives from across Nigeria's agrifood systems, and the message was consistent: the tools exist, the frameworks are in place. What is needed now is coordination, accountability, and the political will to act.

What a day in the room.Chikondi Chabvuta-Mkawa, Chairperson of the CAADP Non-State Actors Group (CNG) and CARE AU Advoca...

What a day in the room.

Chikondi Chabvuta-Mkawa, Chairperson of the CAADP Non-State Actors Group (CNG) and CARE AU Advocacy Lead, set the tone from the very first minute:

“Where non-state actors are coordinated, they influence. Where they are fragmented, they are heard, but not heeded.”

She was unambiguous: NSAs are not observers. They are accountability actors and co-owners of outcomes. The shift needed is from dialogue to implementation to measurable change.

Emmanuel Onojighofia, CAADP National Focal Person for Nigeria, followed with a strong government framing, tracing Nigeria’s journey from the Maputo Declaration (2003) through Malabo (2014) to the Kampala Declaration (2026).

His acknowledgement was honest and important:
“Our policies are not the problem. The challenge is coordination and implementation across sectors and levels.”

He highlighted that Nigeria has already built a multi-sector agrifood systems platform with 85+ stakeholders and initiated zonal consultations; the foundation is there. Now it must be activated.

The afternoon brought the first round of group work, where participants dove into the current status of Nigeria’s food systems, examining gender and youth leadership, digital agriculture and AgriTech, and circular economy and e-waste advocacy as cross-cutting themes.

The conversations were rich, honest, and grounded in reality.

From the room - Day 1, Nigeria CAADP NSA Workshop.

Representing the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Ms Adèle DJODA BEL BELLO, Monitoring and Evaluation Lead at GIZ, brought a powerful systems perspective to today’s discussions.
Her message was clear:

“Evidence must not remain in reports. It must inform decisions, investments, and policy direction.”

She challenged the room to think beyond isolated interventions - real transformation requires coordinated systems, strong monitoring, and a commitment to learning and adaptation.

She also named fragmentation as a key barrier to impact and called on NSA platforms to bridge the gap between community-level data and national planning.

GIZ’s support to this process is to enable inclusive governance, strengthen coordination mechanisms, and drive evidence-based CAADP implementation.

This is the kind of partnership that moves the needle.

TODAY: CARE Nigeria convenes the Nigeria Non-State Actors Workshop on CAADP Implementation.

Theme ➡️ Strengthening Coordination and Policy Influence in CAADP Implementation

Organised in collaboration with Community of Agriculture Non-State Actors in Nigeria (COANSA) and the CAADP Non-State Actors Group (CNG), and supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and ActionAid Nigeria, this 3-day national workshop brings together civil society, farmers’ organisations, women and youth groups, the private sector, government representatives, development partners, and academia.

The goal: a stronger, more coordinated Nigerian non-state actor platform that can meaningfully influence policy and hold government accountable on its CAADP commitments.
Over the next three days, participants will:
➡️ Deepen understanding of Nigeria’s commitments under the CAADP Kampala Declaration and identify gaps
➡️ Establish a coordinated governance framework for NSA engagement with the government
➡️ Define 3–5 national advocacy priorities to drive policy influence through 2026
➡️ Develop a 12-month gender-responsive advocacy action plan aligned with national budget cycles

Nigeria’s active participation in Africa’s agrifood transformation agenda starts with getting the right voices in the room, coordinated, credible, and action-oriented.

Partnerships create stronger communities and better healthcare outcomes.🤝✅️👏

CARE Nigeria, in partnership with Life Helpers Initiative, under the Enhancing Resilience in Frontline Community Healthcare (EnRiCH) Project, concluded a three-day stakeholder engagement in Charanchi, Katsina, and Mani LGAs to review first-quarter progress and gather feedback from key community stakeholders last week.

These stakeholders included; Facility Officers-in-Charge, Ward Development Committees (WDCs), and Community and Traditional Leaders.

Stakeholders shared encouraging results, including increased ANC uptake, improved quality service delivery from health workers trained on the Digital Learning Platform, and improved livelihoods through FSLA savings groups. These gains are helping frontline workers stay motivated and better serve their communities.

Participants also highlighted challenges such as staff shortages, poor network access, limited drugs, and small facility spaces.

“We appreciate that learning is now continuous through the Digital Learning Platform. It is strengthening service delivery and improving trust in our facilities.” – Sa’da Salisu Radda is the Facility in Charge at Radda, Charanchi LGA.
