Open dialogue is key to improving health outcomes. A community engagement session was held with community and religious leaders, women and girls, youth, and persons with disabilities to discuss barriers to accessing healthcare services.

The discussion created a safe and inclusive space for participants to share experiences, with a strong focus on improving health-seeking behaviors—particularly around maternal health and delivery choices.

Such engagements continue to strengthen trust, improve awareness, and promote informed decisions on accessing quality healthcare services.

Promoting inclusion and dignity for vulnerable populations

Forty persons with disabilities have received assistive devices to support mobility, independence, and improved quality of life in conflict-affected communities of Yobe State.

The beneficiaries included 16 women, 2 girls, 17 men, and 5 boys, who received mobility aids and other supportive equipment to enhance access to essential services and participation in social and economic activities.

The distribution was implemented by YOPCODI in consortium with Cocosohdi NNGO and Center For Child Care and Human Development - C3HD, with funding support from the United Nations OCHA Nigeria.

This intervention reinforces collective efforts to promote inclusion, dignity, and protection for vulnerable groups, ensuring that persons with disabilities are not left behind.

Building the Capacity of Community Volunteer Teachers for Foundational Learning

A five-day training commenced in Garin Alkali for Community Volunteer Teachers (CVTs) from Bayamari and Tarbutu communities in preparation for Cohort 2 implementation of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach with support from ActionAid Nigeria under the Local Rights Programme.

A key highlight of this cohort is the transition of the language of instruction from Hausa to English, aimed at strengthening learners’ reading skills and aligning the tutoring program with formal school learning.

Participants will also explore strategies for creating safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environments, including the use of mindfulness exercises and brain games to support children’s emotional well-being.

The training will equip volunteer teachers with practical tools and learner-centered strategies to support children who attend school but require additional support to strengthen their foundational literacy and numeracy skills.
