A COMMUNIQUE ISSUED ON THE INTERSECTORIAL COLLABORATION FOR UPTAKE OF DATA AND EXPERIENCES

This programme was to achieve three aspects coordinated by the Nasarawa State University at Keffi (NSUK) and the UNEP EBAFOSA initiative on “Supporting coherent policy implementation to catalyze food & livelihood security in Africa”. 

The first was the commissioning of the NSUK-UNEP/EBAFOSA Centre, Solar Dryer, a climate action solution used for practical training of students drawn from different faculties on climate action entrepreneurship. The second was the unveiling of the curriculum of the Entrepreneurship Department, which incorporates climate action entrepreneurship (ClimatePreneurship) courses. The third was to convene policy and operational experts drawn from different sectors & backgrounds to participate in the public lecture Environment and Climate Action Entrepreneurship to deliberate and take up lessons and data on how coherent actions from different sectors are—resulting in integrating climate action solutions to climate proof food systems and creating opportunities towards actualizing multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And by this, inform pro-SDGs policy implementation in their sectors and dockets. This event took place at the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria, on Friday 27th May 2022, at 10 am. The programme was jointly coordinated by the United Nations Environment (UNEP) Programme, Africa Regional Office, and the Nasarawa State University, Keffi.
