I'm scouting for candidates for the Climate Breakthrough Award Program (https://lnkd.in/dee79kBG). The Climate Breakthrough Award Program awards extraordinary and transformative leaders in the climate space with $4 million over three years to create and implement the boldest strategies to mitigate climate change. Preferred candidates must be from Nigeria or the West African region focused solely on climate change solutions and initiatives. Recommendations are welcomed via email. Please send your recommendations with their contact information or seek further clarification from me at jaidahosa@gmail.com or idamenaghawon@gmail.com.
This is so exciting Joseph Idahosa Amenaghawon! Thank you for your robust support in seeking out brilliant leaders to join our program. It’s through nominations like this that we can continue to support innovative people from different parts of the world, including Africa, to address climate change. Can't wait to see the amazing candidates who emerge from this search!

Check out Olumide Idowu (Mr. Climate), he has everything you are asking for and he is highly recommended.
The Women Environmental Programme (WEP) powered by Priscilla Achakpa and eccai org are the two to beat.
Blessing Ewa this is your forte
I highly recommend Olumide Idowu (Mr. Climate)
Jennifer Uchendu has been doing this for more than 10 years! She deserves it
