We were honoured to receive the visit of the UNHCR Head of Sub-Office Maiduguri to RATEI during a routine mission to Adamawa State on 7 May 2026.

The visit provided an opportunity to engage with the Executive Director and RATEI staff, share updates on our donor-funded and self-funded interventions, and showcase the impact of our community-based livelihood programmes.

The delegation toured our rice value chain factory, where they gained firsthand insight into our production processes and value-addition initiatives.

The visit also included interactions with beneficiaries within the host community, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) involved in the briquette-making cooperative.

Discussions highlighted RATEI’s commitment to empowering vulnerable communities through demonstration farms, facilitating access to farmland for IDPs through community partnerships, and connecting beneficiary groups to sustainable markets for their agricultural and value-added products.

At RATEI, we remain committed to promoting self-reliance, social cohesion, and durable solutions for IDPs and vulnerable host community members through inclusive and sustainable livelihood interventions.

🌍 Earth Day 2026 Celebration
Theme: Our Power, Our Planet

Celebrating the World Earth Day, RATEI participated in an exhibition at the Commencement Hall, American University of Nigeria (AUN), to commemorate World Earth Day.

The exhibition provided an opportunity for us to showcase how RATEI’s social enterprise model is driving sustainability through agriculture and circular value chains. From farm to processing and waste-to-wealth solutions, our approach ensures that nothing goes to waste while creating value for farmers, communities, and the environment.

🔹 Our Products & Value Chain Impact:
🐄 Rice Bran
🌽 Maize Bran
🐖 Livestock Feed
🔥 Briquettes (eco-friendly fuel from agro-waste)
🌿 Compost Organic Fertilizer
🍚 Parboiled Rice
🍚 Premium White Rice
By transforming agricultural by-products into useful resources like animal feed, organic fertilizer, and clean energy, we are reducing waste, promoting sustainable farming, and contributing to climate action.

At RATEI, we believe that agriculture is power—and when done right, it can protect our planet and secure our future.
Together, let’s build a sustainable world through smart agriculture. 🌱

🌍 Happy Earth Day 2026!
Theme: Our Power, Our Planet

At RATEI, we recognize that agriculture is deeply connected to the health of our planet. The way we farm, manage our land, and use natural resources today will determine the future we leave behind.

Sustainable agriculture is not just an option—it is our responsibility. By promoting smart farming practices, conserving soil and water, and reducing waste, we can protect our environment while ensuring food security for generations to come.

Our power lies in the choices we make on the land. Our planet depends on it.

Let’s commit to farming smarter, protecting nature, and building a greener future together. 🌱

We’re proud to announce the successful completion of our 6-week Organizational Strengthening Project as of 20th March 2026! 🎉

This milestone marks a significant step forward for RATEI. We now have stronger internal controls and a more structured, efficient system to enhance accountability, transparency, and long-term impact.

With these improvements, RATEI is better positioned to deliver sustainable and impactful services to rural women, youth, and persons with disabilities in Nigeria.

We appreciate our dedicated team, Board members, and partners for their commitment throughout this process. Special thanks to our donors FCDO and NORCAP under the PLRCAP initiative for their invaluable support.

Celebrating 28 years of the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement—an enduring framework that continues to shape global responses to one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time.

At the Rural Agricultural Transformation and Empowerment Initiative (RATEI), we recognize that as displacement continues to rise, these Principles remain a powerful call to action—guiding efforts to protect, include, and empower internally displaced persons (IDPs) to rebuild their lives with dignity and resilience.

We are proud to stand in solidarity through this Joint Statement, contributing our voice to a shared commitment toward sustainable and inclusive solutions for displaced communities.

Together, we must continue to ensure that no one is left behind.

📌 THROWBACK WEEK

RATEI Participates in GIZ-AgFin/EFInA Train-the-Trainer Workshop
📍 Abuja | 🗓️ April 8–10, 2026

As part of our commitment to strengthening rural agricultural systems, RATEI’s Executive Director and Program Manager participated in a 3-day Train-the-Trainer (ToT) Workshop for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), jointly organized by EFInA in partnership with GIZ AgFin.

The workshop focused on the Farmer Financial Cycle (FFC) and Micro Agric Enterprise Training (MAT) equipping participants with practical tools to reposition farming as a profitable and sustainable business.

Through intensive sessions, our team gained deeper capacity to:
✔️ Assess financial risks in agriculture
✔️ Identify viable market opportunities
✔️ Improve access to financial services for smallholder farmers, women, and micro-enterprise actors

Now certified under the GPAgFin proven approach, RATEI is fully equipped to cascade structured financial literacy and agribusiness management training across grassroots communities in Adamawa State especially targeting women farmers and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

We sincerely appreciate GIZ-AgFin and EFInA for this strategic investment in CSO capacity development. The knowledge gained will directly contribute to improving productivity, profitability, and sustainability within rural agricultural systems.

🌍 World Health Day 2026

"Health is not just the absence of illness, but the presence of dignity, stability, and hope."

For Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), health is deeply connected to durable solutions — safe shelter, food security, clean environments, and sustainable livelihoods.

At RATEI, we contribute to healthier communities by advancing a multi-sectoral approach to durable solutions, empowering displaced women, youth, and persons with disabilities to live stable, dignified, and self-reliant lives.

🌱 Because lasting health begins with lasting solutions.
