A group identified as Bridge that Gap Hope for Africa Initiative (BTG) has announced that it will partner with the Network of Civil Society in Environment to empower women on sustainable climate governance in Kaduna State.

BTG Executive Director, Gloria Bulus who made this known via a statement in Kaduna on Thursday, said that the move was a strategic effort toward tackling the rising climate and development issues impacting communities in the state.

Bulus said that the project would be funded through the Strategic Opportunity Fund of the Partnership for Agile Governance and Climate Engagement (PACE) Programme, a Foreign Commonwealth Development Office-funded initiative.

She said that the six-month project titled “Women Empowerment and Climate Resilience Initiative” would be implemented in three Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state, namely Zaria, Chikun, and Zango Kataf.
“Reports from these LGAs show high levels of environmental degradation, food insecurity, and limited female representation in governance structures.“A complex climate landscape in
Kaduna state faces a troubling mix of environmental, social, and economic challenges.

“From extensive deforestation and desertification to resource shortages and ecosystem breakdowns, the impacts of climate change have become severe.

“A report by Global Forest Watch shows that in 2023 alone, the state lost over 5,400 hectares of natural forest, leading to 1.94 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

“These environmental shocks have worsened poverty and eco-anxiety, especially among women who are disproportionately affected but remain underrepresented in decision-making,” she said.
