ABU ARIEF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION STRENGTHENS CAPACITY AS MANAGEMENT ATTENDS SILB AFRICA 2026 VIRTUAL SESSION

The Management Staff of Abu Arief Community Development Foundation has demonstrated its strong commitment to capacity development by attending the Session 3 Virtual Training of the Social Innovators and Leadership Bootcamp (SILB) Africa 2026, held today Saturday, 26th September, 2026.

The session, which commenced at 8:00 PM Nigeria Time, featured Hon. Jim Karygiannis, former Member of the Canadian Parliament and former Toronto City Councillor. Speaking from Toronto, Canada, Hon. Karygiannis delivered a keynote address on the theme “THE ARCHITECTS OF CHANGE - Developing Leaders, Building Solutions, Transforming Communities,” with a focus on the topic “FROM IDEAS TO IMPACT: Strategies for Turning Ideas into Sustainable Impact.”

In his address to over 250 emerging leaders from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and The Gambia, the former Canadian lawmaker emphasized that leadership begins with a decision to act, not a title.

He charged participants to listen before leading, mobilize people and non-financial resources, build strong partnerships, start with achievable goals, measure impact, and build sustainable institutions by developing other leaders. He noted that Africa’s greatest resource is its people, particularly its youth, and described initiatives like SILB Africa as critical to transforming communities.

For Abu Arief Community Development Foundation, participation in the session aligns with its core value of continuous learning and building a competent team for sustainable community impact.

The knowledge gained on resource mobilization, partnership building and turning ideas into sustainable action will further strengthen the Foundation’s interventions across its focus areas.
