Women farmers are central to food security, nutrition and economic resilience. IYWF 2026 will raise awareness and promote actions to close the gender gaps and improve women’s livelihoods worldwide

On January 3, 2026, Kenya lost one of its most iconic: Craig, a 54-year-old bull from Amboseli National Park, famed for his enormous, ground-touching tusks and calm presence against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. He passed peacefully of natural causes, a testament to decades of dedicated conservation efforts by the Kenya Wildlife Service, local communities, and partners.
Super tuskers like Craig (and others such as the tragic Satao, poached in 2014) are vanishing relics—fewer than 30 remain across Africa due to historic poaching and habitat pressures. Their massive ivory (often over 100 lbs per tusk) made them targets, but stories like Craig's show what protection can achieve: he lived a full life, fathered calves, and inspired millions.
Let's celebrate these living legends while we still can. Protect wildlife, support anti-poaching, and cherish the wild.

FEWS NET December 2025 Global Price Watch
In West Africa, staple food prices declined or stabilized in November, driven by ongoing main-season harvest production and household stocks. Cereal prices remained well below last year’s high levels and at or below the five-year average across most Sahelian markets, with localized spikes in conflict-affected and poorly connected areas. In Nigeria, prices continued to ease due to harvests, import waivers on key staples, and tighter macroeconomic policies.

Wahatana Empowerment Initiatives is a Focal NGO in the Adamawa ACReSAL project, under Component B, which concentrates on Community Climate Resilience. This component of the project aims to enhance local communities' capacity to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change through community-led initiatives.
The Wahatana Empowerment Initiative's involvement includes advocacy efforts to promote sustainable practices and community engagement to ensure that the strategies are locally relevant and supported. Their role is crucial in mobilizing community members, climate-smart practices, and facilitating dialogue between the community and government bodies to implement these strategies effectively.
The Adamawa State Ministry of Environment leads the implementation of the ACReSAL project, working in collaboration with the State Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture. This inter-ministerial approach ensures that the initiatives under Component B are well-coordinated across different sectors, addressing issues like water management, agricultural practices, etc. .
