Solar drying technology of agri-produce enhance reduction of post-harvest losses in most developing countries. Therefore, solar dryers reduce moisture contents to a level that prevents deterioration within a period of time regarded as the safe storage period. The main aim of this study is to review the efficiency of solar dryer compared to open sun drying.

This programme was to achieve three aspects coordinated by the Nasarawa State University at Keffi (NSUK) and the UNEP EBAFOSA initiative on “Supporting coherent policy implementation to catalyze food & livelihood security in Africa”. 

#Cameroon has set forth ambitious targets to reduce emissions by 35% by 2030, relative to the 2010 baseline. This is only eight years away & urgency for transformative but accessible investments that can be applied by ordinary citizens of the informal sector that forms up to 90% of the working population is critical. Accordingly, one of the sectors targeted by the country is waste - where the country aims to establish composting units in 10 regions, enhance methane capture from landfills etc., where composting pits will reduce the amount of organic waste that ends up in landfills to cause methane emissions. Accordingly, through Innovative Volunteerism, skilled young people & young at heart have been engaged to retool their skills & engage in compost production. They have worked with local communities, trained them in waste categorization, clustered them into groups of cooperatives for traceability. They engage in collecting organic waste & supplying it to compost sites for processing. The resultant compost manure is marketed to generate income & also applied to farms to enhance yields. Through this Innovative Volunteerism approach, the community is investing at their level in helping Cameroon actualize its climate commitments, even as they create enterprise opportunities for themselves. This is how we provide 90% of economic players opportunities to invest in climate action from an enterprise dimension that has market longevity. Congratulations boma Mohammed chi Chinelum Dilivio Boma You show that when a structured approach is leveraged and guidance provided, transformational #climateaction can be driven for the collective benefit of the communities.

ADOPTION OF AFFORDABLE AND EFFICIENT DOMESTIC FUEL BRIQUETTES TO AVERT DEGRADATION OF FOREST ECOSYSTEM : THE CASE OF UGANDA

Uganda has set timeline to achieve several Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) actions sooner. Uganda seeks to mainstream climate resilience across sectors and develop early warning systems and robust monitoring systems.

THE UNEP NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTIONS  (NDC) ACTION PROJECT: ENABLING REALISATION OF SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES IN GHANA THROUGH CLIMATE CHANGE

Ghana contributes between 0.05–0.13% of global emissions. A negligible amount by all accounts. But just as is the case with the rest of the continent, this country stands out for its vulnerability. The Notre Dame Vulnerability index rates Ghana as highly vulnerable, with a low readiness score. The country is ranked the 68th most vulnerable and 81st least ready country. Increasing community incomes stands out as the core of resilience building.
