CPI4CG · Pilot initiative
A community-led initiative strengthening inclusive climate governance through local evidence, participation and dialogue.
Programme overview
CPI4CG strengthens the participation of communities in climate governance by generating local evidence and creating practical pathways for that evidence to inform planning, policy and implementation.
The pilot is being implemented in Sabon Gari Local Government Area, Kaduna State, where SPiD is working across 11 wards with local government, district heads, community leaders, volunteers and residents.
Research & Publications
Voices from the Ward presents the programme’s completed quantitative household survey and geospatial assessment. Planned qualitative work is clearly identified in the report as a future evidence need.
