Conclusion
The outcome of this project is planned to be accomplished through two levels. The first
approach is working with target LGAs to strengthen their capacities and develop
consensus within Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) for a strategic
voice. PACC-Nigeria will strengthen the knowledge of the target LGAs on climate change
mitigation and adaptation measures, report writing, advocacy and knowledge sharing to
broaden their understanding base for the sustainability of the activities
Secondly, PACC-Nigeria will be lobbying the Federal Ministry of Environment, Climate
Change Department (CCD) and other relevant stakeholders to involve LGAs in their
activities. Governmental entities like the Nigerian Maritime Safety and Administrative
Agency (NIMASA), Local Government Legislative House, the Ministry of Local
Government Commission, River Basin Authorities and other development organs of
government and CSOs will be included in the awareness exercise to draw their attention to
climate change issue.
