Closing a Chapter, Sustaining the Impact. In Jere LGA, FOURCi joined community members and stakeholders to mark the closure of the Locally Led Flood and Cholera Emergency Response project.

The journey was defined by community participation, locally led action, WASH support, cholera prevention, and strengthened public health awareness.
As the project closes, the knowledge, practices, and resilience strengthened through the intervention remain with the communities. The project may end, but the impact continues.

Closing One Chapter, Sustaining the Impact. 💚
In Magumeri LGA, FOURCi joined community members and key stakeholders to mark the closure of the Locally Led Flood and Cholera Emergency Response for Vulnerable Communities in Monguno, Magumeri, and Jere LGAs of Borno State.

The closure marks the end of a project cycle—but not the end of the knowledge, practices, partnerships, and community resilience strengthened throughout the intervention.
From cholera awareness and hygiene promotion to safe water treatment, household WASH support, environmental sanitation, community engagement, and capacity strengthening of local responders, the project placed communities at the centre of actions aimed at reducing public health risks and protecting vulnerable households.

The journey in Magumeri has been shaped by community participation, local leadership, partnership, and collective action. Through the commitment of community members, local structures, frontline responders, and humanitarian partners, practical knowledge and resources were brought closer to the people who needed them most.

As this chapter comes to a close, FOURCi expresses sincere appreciation to the communities, stakeholders, partners, and Save the Children US for their collaboration and commitment throughout the response. While the project closes, the impact continues through the knowledge gained, healthier practices adopted, and strengthened community capacity to respond to future challenges. Together, we continue to support healthier, safer, and more resilient communities across Borno State.

Prepared communities are safer communities. 🌊

Through the HF Flood Anticipatory Action and Emergency Response Project, FOURCi, with support from Save the Children US, equipped community volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to turn early warnings into timely action—protecting lives, livelihoods and strengthening locally led resilience.

Before the Floodwaters Rise, There Is a Window to Act. Community volunteers came together with one shared purpose: to help their communities prepare early, respond faster and protect lives when flooding threatens.

Through the HF Flood Anticipatory Action and Emergency Response Project, implemented by FOURCi Nigeria with support from Save the Children US, the volunteers strengthened their knowledge of flood risks, early-warning communication, community mobilisation and coordinated emergency response.

They came as trusted members of their communities and left better equipped to serve as a vital link between early warnings and the households that must act on them. Their role will be crucial in ensuring that timely information reaches vulnerable families and that communities are prepared to take action before a hazard becomes a disaster.

This training represents more than knowledge gained—it is local capacity strengthened, community ownership advanced and resilience built from within.

Because when communities are informed, organised and empowered to act early, lives and livelihoods can be protected.

NEW PROJECT ALERT | FOURCi × WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME (WFP)

Today marks a very special milestone for Concern on Climate Change for the Community Initiative (FOURCi) as we commence a new partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) for the implementation of the Integrated Food System and Resilience Project in Chikito, Muninga and Gurin communities, Fufore LGA, Adamawa State.

This project is especially dear to my heart and means a great deal to the entire FOURCi team.

For us, food security is not only about producing food. A sustainable food system must connect the entire chain—from access to quality inputs and production, to irrigation, aggregation, storage, processing, value addition, financing and ultimately access to viable markets. This project gives FOURCi an important opportunity to put that vision into practice.

Through this partnership, 1,685 households (approximately 8,425 people) will be reached, including 1,012 smallholder farmers who will be supported across three agricultural seasons. The intervention also incorporates solar-powered irrigation, 46 Farmer Field Schools, Village Savings and Loan Associations, a Community Aggregation Hub and facilities for processing and value addition.

What excites us most is the connection across the food value chain. Farmers will not simply be supported to produce; the project is designed to help communities aggregate, process, add value and connect their produce to markets.

For FOURCi, this represents more than the beginning of another project. It represents the kind of development pathway we want to see—one where communities move from vulnerability to production, from production to enterprise, and from enterprise towards sustainable and resilient livelihoods.

We deeply appreciate the World Food Programme (WFP) for the confidence placed in FOURCi and for this partnership. We also recognise the responsibility that comes with that confidence. Our team is committed to delivering this project with accountability, inclusion, professionalism and, above all, measurable impact for the communities we serve.

This journey did not begin today. In 2023, FOURCi implemented a similar food security and livelihoods intervention in partnership with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), working with communities in this same context. That experience remains particularly significant to us because communities such as Chikito demonstrated remarkable commitment, ownership and willingness to work towards addressing their own food security challenges. Returning to these communities through this new partnership with WFP therefore represents both continuity and an opportunity to build on foundations already laid. It reinforces our conviction that sustainable food security is achieved when communities are not treated simply as beneficiaries, but are empowered as active partners in strengthening local food systems and food value chains.
For FOURCi, this represents more than the beginning of another project. It represents a continuation of a journey and the kind of development pathway we want to see—one where communities move from vulnerability to production, from production to enterprise, and from enterprise towards sustainable and resilient livelihoods.

Stronger Communities. Sustainable Food Systems. A Resilient Tomorrow.
