OUR WORK
Driving Climate Action, Sustainable Agriculture, and Community Resilience
At the Foundation for Climate Action and Agriculture Initiative (FCAAI), our work is grounded in the belief that climate solutions must be locally driven, socially inclusive, and practically implementable. We design and deliver programmes that respond to real community needs while aligning with national priorities and global climate and development frameworks.
Our interventions focus on strengthening the resilience of coastal, rural, and underserved communities in Nigeria, particularly those most exposed to climate risks, food insecurity, environmental degradation, and socio-economic exclusion.
Our Approach
FCAAI works through an integrated, evidence-based approach that combines:
Community-led design and participation
Climate and environmental science
Sustainable agricultural practices
Data, technology, and innovation
Partnerships across public, private, and civil society sectors
We prioritise solutions that are scalable, measurable, and sustainable, ensuring that impact extends beyond project timelines.
