community Peoples Working Group, community leaders and all the communities in the
vast Kano Plains in order to build their capacities, institutional and advocacy
development strategies on right to manage and use the land and natural resources,
particularly, the land security for livelihood and promoting economic, social
and environmental awareness.
This action is part of Kano Plain Development Initiative's vision, mission and goal
for supporting the local community-people networking from grassroots to the regional level. To link purpose of project with KPDI’s vision, the local communities need to have knowledge, capacity, solidarity and a sense of initiative. There is a need of ownership in
order to manage the land and natural resources, improve economic, social and environmental awareness with effectiveness and sustainability through community
organizing and community-led development.
The mission is to support the Kano Community through
building and strengthening the capacity of organization/group members to
protect community land, natural resources and environment. The action is done
through empowerment, mobilizing, organizing and networking of local
communities/groups to voice their concerns.
As the results of project, sugar cane farming, rice farming both scheme and

cooperated and collaborated with local authority in recruiting other community
leaders. KPDI aims to be regional coordinator and still continues to publicly
disseminate and consult. This is done with an aim of bringing local community
to a strong and active level towards ownership and sustainability by use of empowerment
approach.
