🌍 Exciting News: GISCOR Joins the SOLCO Partnership in Nigeria!✨ We are thrilled to welcome Grassroot Initiative for Strengthening Community Resilience (GISCOR) to the Solar Electric Cooking (#SOLCO) Partnership! 🤝 🔥GISCOR has been a key player in advancing climate action in Northeast Nigeria, including training conflict-affected communities in Konduga, Damboa, and Ngala. In these areas, women face severe risks of abduction and violence when collecting firewood - highlighting the urgent need for safer, more sustainable cooking alternatives. 🌿By expanding access to cleaner cooking solutions, through implementing a project under the SOLCO Partnership, GISCOR will help protect vulnerable groups - particularly women - and reduce environmental degradation caused by reliance on firewood. 🤲 With GISCOR’s expertise and deep community trust , alongside national lead for SOLCO Nigeria Mission East and the strategic support from SOLCO Global leads UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, Last Mile Climate, and Global Platform for Action (GPA) for action , SOLCO is strengthening efforts to bring sustainable energy solutions to some of those who need them most in Nigeria. We look forward to working together to drive lasting change! ⚡ #CleanCooking #SolarCooking #EnergyAccess #ClimateActionPartnerships #WomenEmpowerment #Nigeria #Sustainability #ProtectingCommunities #GreenSolutions #SOLCOPartnership IKEA Foundation, Robert Bosch Stiftung
