 A non-governmental organization on gender and climate change has taken an awareness advocacy to the FCT and the area councils. The two-day training workshop is aimed to train leaders who will, in turn, train the community on the importance of learning the effects and solutions of climate change. The Cabaret-Cache Women Development and Resource Center is a non-governmental organization based in Potacot River State. The organization's main objective is to advocate for women's inclusiveness and to ensure that women are accorded equal rights and roles as their male counterpart. According to the program manager, Dongset Smart, the organization is set up to ensure that women are given a voice in the society and properly educated to understand aspects of life that will upgrade their mental alertness to navigate the challenges of life. In African society, they believe women are supposed to be seen and not to be heard. The Cabaret-Cache is trying to promote gender balance. We are trying to create gender equality in the society and trying to ensure that women are being included in decision-making processes in different levels, starting from the communities to the state to the national. So today, we are training the community leaders, the councilors, community women, the youth and the local government on what we call national action plan on gender and climate change. We want the national action plan to be localized in the community levels because most community people do not actually understand what we mean by national action plan. Oxfam, Nigeria, who are the main sponsors as well as the facilitator, explained the importance of the training, especially for women and leaders at the sub-nationals for them to understand the effect of gender and climate change on the social, political and economic lives of citizens. We want to see, you know, community leaders and health presence in the house today want to see them that they are more equipped, that their capacity has been strengthened and they are able to deploy all of the action plans and points shared in the meeting today and also effect all of those plans. We realize that there is still a great deal of misconception around sex and gender. A lot of people use them interchangeably and that is the basic foundation of all of this. If you don't even understand what gender means, that it is a social construct and not a biological role, you may not understand the gendered impact of climate change on women, how it disproportionately affects women. So we are looking at localizing this working with people in the local communities, legislators, community members, representatives of the women, representatives of the market women, everybody coming together to chime in to see how they can understand what is in the national action plan on gender and climate change, take it back to their communities and translate it into advocacy plans and more importantly, implementation action. Participants express their satisfaction on the training, promising to impart its own members of their various communities. A lot of teachers, both we, the men and the women around us, that will take it back to our domain, that our people will be delighted how the climate and genders are changed in our domain so that there are many that are ignorant of all this that is happening. So it's a great one for us to have to come to this program. In our everyday life, we should be conscious of the activities that we play, the roles that we stand for as individuals because most of the things that we do affect either us or our surrounding environment. There are so many things in our environment that have been built from these trees and by the time you cut them down, it affects production, it affects our economy at large. So in other words, some of these things that we do, as it affects us directly, we should
