As we step into 2026, We do so with renewed commitment to advancing inclusive, evidence driven solutions at the intersection of community development, energy transition, and climate action.
In the year ahead, our work will place strong emphasis on national and subnational policy engagement, building on field research and stakeholder dialogues focused on the role of artisanal and small-scale mining in Nigeria’s low-carbon future. We will continue to advocate for sustainable, climate-smart, and gender-responsive approaches that integrate mining communities into Nigeria’s energy transition agenda.
2026 will also see us deepen our focus on women’s participation and leadership across renewable energy, agriculture, and extractive value chains, recognising the critical role of women in driving resilient livelihoods and just transitions. Our programmes will continue to prioritise community voices, practical policy recommendations, and collaboration between government, civil society, research institutions, and the private sector.
As Nigeria works towards its climate and development commitments, Ziva remains committed to bridging research, policy, and community realities to support reforms that are inclusive, locally grounded, and forward-looking.
We are grateful to our partners, community stakeholders, and supporters whose collaboration makes this work possible. Together, we look ahead to a year of purposeful engagement, strengthened partnerships, and tangible progress.
From all of us at Ziva Community Initiatives, we wish you a productive, impactful, and hopeful New Year.
