Social Media Ambassador
The Empowering Youth Civil Society to Build Stronger Communities in Nigeria project advocates for the active involvement of youth and youth-led civil society organisations in reviewing Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Through the hashtag #ClimateActionForStrongerNaija, the project has empowered 165 civil society organisations across Delta, Enugu, Kaduna, Nasarawa, and Ondo states and 300 youth across 34 states of Nigeria, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to actively participate in climate action.
Youth CSOs have hosted 13 community dialogues bringing together about 1300 community stakeholders including government officials as well as the Nigeria Futures Summit to advocate for the agency of youth in the process of Nigeria’s NDC 3.0. The youth CSOs will be creating a Local Adaptation Plan of Action in their states and working with their state governments to take bold steps towards climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Now, we’re looking for Social Media Ambassadors to support the next phase of the project! As an ambassador, you’ll showcase our progress, amplify our impact, and inspire others to join the #ClimateActionForStrongerNaija movement.
