One of the SIPAD International ground-breaking approaches in Sustainable Development is the mitigation of climate change. The program aims to link Climate Change Mitigation, Biodiversity Restoration, and Sustainable Livelihoods in Africa.
It will also provide the lead to invite other organizations and institutions as part of our stakeholders. Making Africa a conducive place to live is key. It will also integrate awareness creation and sensitization programme forming as one of the components of Environmental Education to enhance sustainable development.
SIPAD International therefore seeks to roll over the following activities.
- Sustainable management of land with our traditional authorities through stakeholders’ meetings to address the dwindling state of lands for Ecosystem Conservation.
- Capacity building for project beneficiaries (Farmers, Agro-processing groups, Environmental Organizations or Institutions, NGOs, Community Youth Groups, Women Groups, Chiefs and Queen Mothers, Members of Religious groups, Miners, Quarries, Schools, Artisans, Chainsaw Operators, Securities, and Governments).
- Conduct a Baseline survey to inform decisions at all levels or stages of the project within the affected areas to promote the sustainability of the project. We will identify the threats of activities that are detrimental and need attention.
- Advocacy programmes will be launched from time to time to update all stakeholders and run promotions throughout the life cycle of the research project.
- It will also move along with policymakers and team up with others to influence policy development and bring on board critical issues that will advise generally making changes and improving already existing policies.
- Sensitization and awareness creation, Joint community and school sensitizations on land use programmes using different useful tools.
- Sustainable income-generating activities will contribute to climate change mitigation and restoring biodiversity ensuring vegetation covers are back to green and water bodies are safe to drink.
- Push for effective usage of land, a key resource so that when well managed we can get land for future Industrialization drive and development.
- Media partnership cannot be left since it will provide enough channels to propagate the message to the citizenry.
