CASCADE Nigeria has expanded its intervention to 3 more LGAs in Jigawa State.
From its coverage of project implementation in 9 LGAs across Jigawa and Kebbi States (Jahun, Kafin Hausa, Dutse, Ringim, Kiyawa, Birnin Kebbi, Suru, Bunza and Argungu), it has expanded to Kaugama, Hadejia and Birnin Kusu LGAs in Jigawa State (making it a total of 12 LGAs across the two states) in order to increase access and consumption of healthy diets to reduce malnutrition among women of reproductive age and children under the age of 15.
To begin this expansion, CASCADE Nigeria successfully held inception meetings across the newly added LGAs, bringing together local government officials, traditional leaders, women representatives, and community stakeholders.
During the meetings, the CASCADE team shared a clear overview of the project and its focus on nutrition improvement, food security, women’s empowerment, community resilience and engagement, strengthened nutrition services, and practical, sustainable support for households.
Local governments were encouraged to play active roles through collaboration, participation, and community mobilization when needed to ensure the project provides a lasting impact.
The meeting ended with strong positivity, as stakeholders expressed readiness and commitment to fully embrace CASCADE project and work together to address nutrition challenges in their communities.
These inception meetings mark an important first step community entrance, laying a strong foundation for local ownership, partnership, and successful implementation.
Let's work together hopefully as the CASCADE project starts its interventions across the new LGAs and continues expanding its impact.
