Congratulations to all Gombe State Youths
FOCEI Foundation For Community Empowerment

We proudly appreciate the State Government, under the able leadership of His Excellency, Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya (Dan Majen Gombe), CON, for the historic signing and adoption of the Gombe State Youth Policy during the 55th State Executive Council Meeting.

This is more than a policy it is a promise of opportunity, inclusion and a stronger future for our young people.

We commend this bold step and look forward to its full and effective implementation.
When we invest in young people, we invest in the future of Gombe State. Together, we can build a generation empowered to lead, innovate and transform our communities.

GONET Monitors Gombe State Local Government Elections

The Gombe Network of Civil Society Organizations (GONET), led by its Chairman, Amb. Ibrahim Yusuf, alongside Dr. Ben Maina (Secretary), Mallam Hussaini Abubakar (Financial Secretary), and Mallam Salisu Abubakar (Assistant Secretary, Media), monitored the recent Local Government Council Elections across selected polling units in Gombe State.

Our observation revealed that while the elections were conducted in some polling units, other polling units were characterized by low voter turnout, inadequate public awareness, delayed or non-arrival of election officials at some polling units. At Jekadafari Polling 010 Unit, although many people gathered to witness the Governor cast his vote, some turned out to exercise their democratic right.

GONET calls on the Gombe State Independent Electoral Commission (GOSIEC), government institutions, political parties, civil society, traditional and religious leaders, and the media to intensify voter education and civic awareness ahead of future elections. Local government is the closest tier of government to the people, and citizens must actively participate in electing leaders who will be accountable for delivering quality services and sustainable development.

Democracy thrives when citizens vote, participate, and hold leaders accountable. Together, let us strengthen grassroots democracy and build a more inclusive, peaceful, and prosperous Gombe State.

🌟 Gombe Network of Civil Society -GONET Capacity Building Training 🌟

The journey from learning to lasting impact continued as Civil Society Organizations strengthened their knowledge and practical skills in Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) and Results-Based Management.

Through engaging discussions and hands-on exercises, participants deepened their capacity to design programmes that are evidence-driven, accountable, and capable of delivering measurable change in our communities.

This training reaffirmed that strong organizations build stronger communities. When we invest in knowledge, embrace collaboration, and use evidence to guide our actions, we move beyond good intentions to creating real and sustainable impact.

The training may have ended, but our commitment to transforming lives across Gombe State has only grown stronger.

Together, we are building a more accountable, resilient, and impactful civil society—one that leaves no one behind.

Members of the Gombe Network of Civil Society (GONET) came together to reflect, learn, collaborate, and chart a bold path for sustainable development in Gombe State.

Under the theme "From Consultation to Impact: Strategic Programming and Evidence-Based M&E," participants identified key development priorities, strengthened their capacity in strategic programming and impact measurement, and developed practical action plans for collective action.

🎯 Key Outcomes
✅ Agreed priority development areas for collective CSO action
✅ Strengthened capacity in evidence-based programming and M&E
✅ Draft M&E plans and tools developed for participating organizations
✅ Renewed commitment to collaboration, accountability, and measurable impact

This gathering reaffirmed a powerful truth: when civil society organizations unite around a shared vision, informed by evidence and driven by purpose, transformative change becomes possible.

Together, we are building stronger communities, amplifying citizens' voices, and creating lasting solutions for a better Gombe State.

The conversation has ended, but the impact journey has just begun.
